Single-gas or multi-gas?

A single-gas detector is a personal monitor worn on the collar for one known hazard, most often hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on oil and gas sites. A multi-gas detector watches several hazards at once; the standard 4-gas set is oxygen (O2), combustible gases as a percentage of the lower explosive limit (LEL), carbon monoxide (CO) and H2S. If the hazard can change — confined spaces, tank cleaning, sewers, process plants — choose multi-gas.

Alarm points to know

Most detectors ship with alarm points close to these, and many sites keep them; your company standard may set others.

  • O2: low alarm 19.5 %, high alarm 23.5 % by volume.
  • Combustibles: 10 % LEL low, 20 % LEL high.
  • H2S: 10 ppm low, 15 ppm high.
  • CO: 35 ppm low, 200 ppm high.

Bump tests and calibration

  • Bump test before each day's use — a short exposure to test gas to prove every sensor and alarm responds. This is the industry practice and what most site permits ask for.
  • Full calibration at the interval set by the manufacturer and your site procedure, and always after a failed bump test.
  • Two-year disposable detectors such as the BW Clip and Clip4 need no battery or sensor changes, but still need bump testing.
  • Keep the records: inspectors and permit issuers ask for the last bump and calibration dates.

Ordering for a crew or a project

Tell us the gases, the number of workers, whether you need pumped units for confined-space entry, and whether you need calibration gas and docking. We quote the detectors, spare sensors and accessories together. Use the quote request page, and see the PPE range and fire protection equipment for the rest of the safety kit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a 4-gas and a single-gas detector?

A single-gas detector monitors one hazard, usually H2S, and is worn as a personal alarm. A 4-gas detector monitors O2, combustible gases (LEL), CO and H2S together and is the standard choice where the atmosphere can change.

Do I need a pumped gas detector?

For testing a confined space before anyone enters, yes: a pump draws the sample through a hose from outside the space. For continuous personal monitoring while working, a diffusion detector worn on the body is enough.

How often should a gas detector be calibrated?

Bump test it before each day's use. Calibrate it at the interval the manufacturer and your site procedure set, and always after a failed bump test.

Do the BW Clip detectors need calibration?

They run for two years without battery or sensor changes, but they should still be bump tested before use to prove the sensor and alarms respond.

Can you supply spare sensors and accessories?

Yes, including sensors such as the Ventis MX4 oxygen sensor and accessories such as ALTAIR 5X filter covers. Send the model and part number with your quote request.
