Frequently Asked Questions

Why is calibration gas required for confined space gas detectors?

Calibration gas establishes a known reference concentration that verifies a portable gas detector is responding accurately to target gases. Without regular calibration using NIST-traceable standards like SpecGas H₂S blends, detectors may give false readings, putting workers in confined spaces at serious risk of undetected hydrogen sulfide exposure.

What is a bump test and how often should it be performed before confined space entry?

What H₂S concentration range is needed for calibrating confined space detectors?

What cylinder sizes are available for field use in confined space applications?

Are SpecGas H₂S calibration blends compatible with my existing gas detector?

How long does H₂S calibration gas remain stable in the cylinder?

Which industries most commonly require H₂S calibration gas for confined space monitoring?
