C1D1 Gas Sensor Calibration

Gas sensors are the first line of defense in a C1D1 extraction booth. When butane or propane vapor reaches dangerous concentrations, these sensors must alarm and trigger purge ventilation. WERCS provides professional calibration with traceable calibration gas and certificates that satisfy OSHA, insurance, and state inspection requirements.

Problems We Solve

WERCS technicians are experts at diagnosing and fixing extraction booth issues that cost you time and money.

Calibration Drift

Gas sensors drift over time - even when not in active use. Environmental exposure, temperature cycling, and sensor aging cause accuracy degradation.

No Documentation

OSHA requires calibration records be maintained for the life of each instrument. Without proper certificates, you cannot prove compliance during an inspection.

Improper Bump Testing

Daily bump tests verify sensor response but do not calibrate. Many operators confuse bump testing with calibration.

Sensor End-of-Life

LEL sensors have finite lifespans (typically 2-5 years). WERCS tracks sensor age and recommends replacement before failure.

Our Service Process

How WERCS delivers exceptional results every time

1

Pre-Calibration Assessment

We document sensor model, serial number, installation date, and last calibration date. Sensors beyond useful life are flagged for replacement.

2

Bump Test Verification

We verify sensor response to test gas. Sensors that fail bump test proceed directly to full calibration or replacement.

3

Full Span Calibration

Using NIST-traceable calibration gas (typically 50% LEL butane or propane), we perform full span calibration per manufacturer specifications.

4

Calibration Certificate

You receive a calibration certificate documenting: sensor ID, calibration gas lot number, pre/post readings, technician signature, and next calibration date.

C1D1 Gas Sensor Calibration FAQ

Common questions about our services

Manufacturers typically specify calibration intervals of 30-180 days. ISEA (International Safety Equipment Association) recommends daily bump testing before use and full calibration per manufacturer schedule. WERCS recommends quarterly full calibration with monthly bump testing for active extraction facilities.
A bump test exposes the sensor to a known concentration of gas to verify it responds - it confirms the sensor works but does not adjust accuracy. Full calibration adjusts the sensor to read accurately at a known concentration using traceable calibration gas. Both are necessary but serve different purposes.
If a sensor cannot be adjusted to read accurately within tolerance, it must be replaced. WERCS carries common replacement sensors and can often complete replacement same-day. Continuing to operate with a failed sensor is an OSHA violation and a serious safety risk.
Yes. Every calibration includes a certificate documenting sensor identification, calibration gas used (with lot number), pre and post calibration readings, pass/fail status, technician signature, and recommended next calibration date. These certificates satisfy OSHA, insurance, and state inspection requirements.
