A bump test is a functional check of gas detectors in which the device is briefly exposed to a known gas concentration. This checks whether the sensor responds and triggers the alarm. Regular bump tests are important to ensure the operational readiness and safety of measuring devices.
The frequency depends on legal requirements, manufacturer recommendations, and operating conditions. It is generally recommended to carry out a bump test before each use or working day to ensure that the gas warning device is functioning properly.
The bump test only checks whether the sensor and alarm react. During calibration, the device is set to a defined gas concentration so that the measurement results are correct and accurate. Calibration ensures precise measured values, while the bump test checks the function.
