Gas detector & instrument calibration
Periodic calibration and testing of portable and fixed gas detectors, pressure gauges and critical safety devices on board.
An instrument that reads wrong is worse than none.
If a gas detector reads wrong, a person entering an enclosed tank may not notice a dangerous atmosphere. If a pressure gauge or temperature sensor drifts, the real condition of the system goes unseen.
At Celiksan we carry out periodic calibration and testing of portable and fixed gas detectors, pressure gauges, temperature calibrators and all critical safety devices on board. With certified solutions compliant with international regulations, we keep measurement accuracy at the highest level.
- Portable single and multi-gas detectors
- Fixed gas detection systems
- Pressure gauges
- Temperature calibrators and sensors
- Function tests of smoke and heat detectors
- Reporting and certification after calibration
The basis for measuring instruments.
Carrying gas measuring instruments on board is required by SOLAS; calibration intervals are set by the instrument manufacturer's instructions.
- SOLAS XI-1/7Since 1 July 2016Ships must carry an appropriate portable atmosphere testing instrument for measuring the atmosphere before entering enclosed spaces.
- MSC.1/Circ.1477Instrument selectionIMO guidelines on selecting portable atmosphere testing instruments under SOLAS XI-1/7.
- Manufacturer's instructionsCalibration intervalBump test and full calibration intervals are set by the instrument manufacturer.
- ISM CodeMaintenance systemMaintenance and calibration of critical equipment is part of the ship's maintenance system and recorded.

How often should a gas detector be calibrated?
The calibration interval is set by the instrument manufacturer. Most manufacturers call for a bump test before each use and a full calibration at regular intervals. We plan according to the interval in your instrument's manual.
What is the difference between a bump test and calibration?
A bump test exposes the instrument to a known test gas to confirm the sensors respond and the alarms go off. Calibration adjusts the instrument's reading against a reference gas so that the measured value is correct.
What information do you need for a quote?
The make and model, serial number, gases measured and the date of the last calibration. For several instruments you can send a list or photos of the labels.
Do you also sell detector testing equipment?
Yes. Our store in Tuzla stocks smoke and heat detector test sprays and test kits.
