Non-refillable canisters from Air Products are vital to ensure the accurate performance of gas detection equipment.
The importance of gas detection equipment cannot be overstated, these specially designed tools are used to monitor gas levels, detect potential leaks and alarm when a hazardous environment is detected. That means that the regular calibration of this crucial equipment is essential to ensuring that it remains reliable and provides full protection.
Calibration gases play a vital role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of gas detection equipment across a wide range of industries. These industries use calibration gases for various applications, from maintaining workplace safety to quality control processes. Here's an overview of some key industries that extensively rely on calibration gases:
Oil & Gas:
Gas detection in refineries, drilling operations and pipelines ensures the safety of workers in environments prone to combustible or toxic gases.
Chemical Industry:
Monitoring potentially hazardous gases in production and storage facilities, preventing potential exposure to toxic gases and helping to maintain a safe working environment.
Mining:
Gas detection in underground mines to prevent exposure to dangerous gases. Crucial for the safety of miners and early detection of harmful gases.
Pharmaceuticals:
Quality control in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, ensuring the integrity of pharmaceutical products and minimising the risk of exposure.
Aviation:
Gas detection in aviation fuel storage and maintenance facilities, prevents the risk of fuel-related accidents and ensures safe working conditions.
Nuclear Industry:
Monitoring radioactive gases in nuclear facilities. Critical for the safety of workers and the prevention of radioactive contamination.
Food and Beverage Production:
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) for food preservation to maintains the freshness and quality of packaged food products.
Fire Service:
Gas detection during firefighting operations and hazardous material incidents.
Protects firefighters from exposure to dangerous gases and ensures effective emergency response.
Water Treatment:
Monitoring potentially harmful gases in water treatment plants to ensure the safety of workers and the quality of treated water.
Construction:
Gas detection in confined spaces and during hot work activities. Prevents accidents related to gas exposure and ensures safe working conditions.
Manufacturing:
Gas detection in various manufacturing processes, protects workers and equipment from the risks associated with industrial gases.
Marine/Shipyard:
Gas detection on ships and in shipbuilding facilities, maintaining the safety of maritime operations and shipyard workers.
Petrochemical:
Monitoring gases in petrochemical processing plants. Critical for preventing chemical accidents and ensuring worker safety.
These industries demonstrate the multitude of applications of calibration gases, emphasising their integral role in safeguarding human lives, protecting the environment and maintaining the integrity of industrial processes. The use of calibration gases is not only a regulatory requirement in many cases but also a proactive measure to prevent accidents in potentially dangerous working environments.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)
MAP extends the shelf life of products by modifying the atmosphere within packaging. Non-refillable canisters play a crucial role in calibrating food atmosphere analysis instruments, ensuring quality control in food packaging.
Refrigerant Leak Detection
Essential for compliance with European Union F Gas Regulations, non-refillable canisters test refrigerant leak detection equipment, maintaining HVAC performance and reducing the risk of fire and explosion.
