Calibration is a critical aspect of maritime safety, ensuring that all gas detection and measurement instruments onboard ships are functioning accurately. For the safety of the crew and the vessel, accurate gas readings are essential for accurate calibration.
At Atlantic Solution, we understand the paramount importance of onboard calibration in maritime operations. We provide the best services to ensure your instruments are always reliable and accurate.
What is Onboard Calibration?
Onboard calibration means adjusting and checking gas detection tools right on the ship. This helps these tools give accurate readings, which is important to find dangerous gases and keep the ship safe. By doing calibration onboard, ship workers can keep their vessels safe.
Why is Onboard Calibration Essential?
Ensures Accurate Gas Detection
The main reason for onboard calibration is to make sure gas detection tools are accurate. These tools must find gases like oxygen, flammable gases, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon monoxide. Accurate readings prevent dangerous situations and keep the crew and ship safe.
Complies with Maritime Regulations
Maritime safety rules, like those from the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), require gas detection tools on ships. Regular calibration onboard ensures these tools meet the rules, avoiding penalties and increasing safety.
Maintains Equipment Performance
Regular calibration keeps gas detection tools working well. Over time, these tools can change from their original settings, giving wrong readings. Onboard calibration fixes these changes, ensuring the tools work correctly.
Types of Instruments That Need Calibration
Portable Gas Detectors: These tools check the air in closed spaces, making sure it’s safe for crew members· They need regular calibration to find gases like oxygen, flammable gases, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon monoxide.
Fixed Gas Detection Systems: These systems always check certain areas on the ship for dangerous gases· Regular calibration makes sure they give accurate readings and set off alarms when gas levels are unsafe.
Atmospheric Testing Instruments: These tools measure the amount of different gases in the ship’s environment· Calibration ensures they give accurate data, important for a safe working place.
Comprehensive Onboard Calibration Services
Pressure Calibration
Pressure calibration is crucial for maintaining the accuracy of various instruments that measure and control pressure onboard. Accurate pressure readings ensure the safety and efficiency of systems such as hydraulic, pneumatic, and fuel delivery systems.
Temperature Calibration
Temperature calibration involves ensuring that all temperature-measuring devices, such as thermometers and thermocouples, are accurate. This is vital for monitoring engine performance, and cargo conditions, and maintaining overall vessel safety.
Flowmeter Calibration
Flowmeter calibration ensures that instruments measuring the flow rate of liquids and gases are accurate. This is important for fuel management, water treatment processes, and ensuring the correct operation of various ship systems.
Consistent rate during calibration, providing accurate and reliable results.
