If you have a fixed gas detection system installed at your site, Entec helps you achieve peace-of-mind by offering routine on-site service and calibration.
A fixed gas detection system is a critical part of your site’s safety infrastructure. It should not be regarded as fit-and-forget. Instead, a [Read more…]
Gas detectors use sensors to measure the levels of target gases. Why calibrate new sensors? Sensor performance is prone to drift over time and with exposure to gaseous environments. That’s why you need to calibrate them regularly – to ensure the sensors are working accurately.
What does the calibration process involve? Calibration involves testing the sensors against a known calibration standard and adjusting to correct for any inaccuracies. The “known calibration standard” is the contents of your calibration gas bottle.
Why do I still need to calibrate even when the gas detector is fairly new? Well, as [Read more…]
iNet Control is a cloud management system for your portable gas detector fleet. Industrial Scientific designed it to be powerful, painless & cost-effective.

As the most configurable personal multi-gas detectors available, new Ventis Pro Series 4-gas & 5-gas portable gas detectors raise the bar on worker safety.
Gas Detectors NZ, a division of Entec, announces the introduction of Industrial Scientific’s Ventis Pro™ Series of 4-gas and 5-gas portable gas detectors to the New Zealand market. [Read more…]
All electrochemical or catalytic gas monitor sensors can be prone to both positive and negative drift due to environmental factors such as changes in temperature and humidity.
However these are not the most common causes of negative readings.
Negative sensor readings more commonly occur when [Read more…]
I have frequently been asked: “How often should you change gas detector sensors?” The answer to this question is really quite simple.
The type of sample tubing you use in conjunction with your gas monitor in remote sample applications and even during calibration can have a very pronounced effect on the gas readings that you obtain.
Not all sample tubing is created equal. Certain types of tubing will react with certain gases and therefore negatively impact the accuracy of the monitor readings in different ways.
For instance, silicone rubber tubing and other [Read more…]
Lately I have been asked a number of questions regarding whether or not it is necessary to “zero” a portable gas monitor each time it is turned on for use.
It’s actually a great question, so what is zeroing a gas monitor?
