Calibration of Gas Measuring Instruments for Fumigation
Calibration of Gas Measuring Instruments for Fumigation

Ensure accuracy and confidence with SGT’s professional calibration service

 

In fumigation processes using gases such as Methyl Bromide (MB) and Phosphine, gas measuring and dispensing instruments play a critical role in maintaining appropriate gas concentrations based on commodity type and target pest levels.

While most users prioritize choosing reliable and easy-to-use equipment, one important aspect often overlooked is the regular calibration of instruments to ensure they continue to deliver accurate and effective readings.

 

Key Instruments Used in Fumigation

✅ Dispenser

A device for delivering Methyl Bromide gas in precise quantities based on pre-calculated formulas. Inaccurate dispensing can lead to ineffective fumigation or safety concerns.

✅ Fumiscope

An instrument for measuring Methyl Bromide gas concentrations inside the fumigated space. Ideal for monitoring gas levels before reopening the area or during the fumigation process.

✅ Uniphos Fumisense Pro

A high-precision digital Phosphine gas detector, suitable for environments that require strict gas control—such as silos or sealed storage areas.

 

Why Is Calibration Important?

     • Accuracy: Ensure gas concentration readings (ppm) reflect actual conditions for effective fumigation performance.

     • Safety: Avoid premature re-entry into fumigated areas due to false low readings.

     • Reliability: Calibrated instruments provide credible data for fumigation reports and certifications.
