Description
Workers can only be protected by a gas detector if it is working properly. This is why it is essential that routine bump testing is a part of every gas detection programme. The Dräger Bump Test Station is a quick and accurate method to confirm that your portable gas detector is responding accurately prior to use in the field.
The Dräger Bump Test Station is designed for simplicity and mobility; it can be used to perform functional tests in a few seconds with a test gas cylinder. It works for almost any location, is battery free, and is a perfect solution for oil & gas facilities, chemical plants, manufacturing sites, marine applications and confined space applications. Eastwind Safety continues to provide the Dubai, Abu Dhabi and UAE with the Dräger Bump Test Station to ensure businesses have reliable gas detection equipment and keep workplaces safe.
The significance of regular bump testing.
Portable gas detectors are subject to extreme working conditions on a daily basis. They can lose accuracy without surface scratches or dirt. They can be affected by dust and moisture the UAE ageing.
A bump test helps to verify that all the detector’s sensors, alarms, and electronics are reacting as they should to a specific concentration of test gas. This instant check helps confirm that the instrument is in a state to alert workers to the presence of hazardous gases. Industry guidance and manufacturers advise carrying out a bump test prior to use each day, especially equipment intended for high-risk areas.
The Dräger Bump Test Station offers a range of key features: The Dräger Bump Test Station provides a variety of key features:
The Dräger Bump Test Station has been designed to enable easy and rapid routine function testing.
Key benefits include the following:
• Fast functional testing in just a few seconds
Cordless – No need for an external power source.
Conveniently lightweight and portable for use onsite
• Low test gas consumption so as to minimize running costs
In addition to the calibration and testing of gas detectors, the results of those tests can be verified on a regular basis.
Prints an auto-compatible message if the test fails and the Dräger X-am device is compatible.
Simplicity of operation and little training needed
Applications
The Dräger Bump Test Station is used all over the place where portable gas detectors are a part of everyday safety activities. Common industries include:
• Oil & Gas
• Petrochemical plants
The work of the ships and offshore structures. The activity of the ships or offshore structures.
• Manufacturing facilities
• Utilities and power generation
Water, Wastewater Treatment.
• Mining
Apparatus and equipment performance tests
For instance, when maintenance personnel have to enter into tanks or pipelines, they can quickly confirm that all gas detectors are in working order before they enter, therefore minimising the risk of being exposed to gas.
The Dräger gas detectors are compatible with the system.
Several Dräger portable gas detection instruments, such as the popular Dräger X-am and Dräger Pac series, can be used with the Bump Test Station. It is used in combination with genuine Dräger calibration gas and accessories, to provide an efficient solution for routine testing and maintenance of gas detectors.
