When thinking of gas detector calibration and how often it must be performed, it is dependent on many variables. First and foremost is determining if a gas sensor is out of calibration. The best way to establish this is through a 'bump' or functional test using a certified standard gas mixture of known concentration. If the device is functioning properly and still measuring gas within tolerance, calibration is unnecessary. Bump testing should be performed as regular maintenance on any gas det...

Temperature is the number one enemy for the life of power supplies. As a rule of thumb, every 10°C increase in temperature decreases the lifetime of a power supply by half. Similarly, every 10°C decrease in temperature doubles their lifetime. Hence, the title of this piece “Rather be cool than dead”. The reason why temperature plays such an important role in the lifetime of power supplies can be found in the Arrhenius equation. The Swedish chemist, Svante Arrhenius, develope...
