At West Coast Equipment & Safety Supply, we provide professional gas detector calibration services for businesses across Orange County, San Diego County, and Los Angeles County. Whether you rely on portable gas monitors, multi-gas detectors, or fixed gas detection systems, accurate calibration is essential to keep your workers safe and your facility compliant.
Gas detector calibration is the process of testing, adjusting, and verifying that your device accurately measures gas concentrations. Over time, sensors naturally drift due to environmental exposure, contamination, or aging. When this happens, your gas monitor may show incorrect readings, creating unsafe conditions without warning.
Regular calibration ensures your detector:
Detects hazardous gases at the correct levels
Passes OSHA and industry safety checks
Performs accurately during confined space entry
Reduces false alarms and downtime
Maintains manufacturer warranty requirements
Calibration is not optional- it’s critical for workplace safety.
We calibrate a wide range of portable and fixed gas detection equipment, including:
Single-gas detectors
Multi-gas detectors
Portable gas monitors
Confined space entry detectors
Industrial gas analyzers
Fixed gas detection systems
Whether you use your monitors daily or occasionally for specific tasks, proper calibration keeps them ready for high-risk environments.
Our team works with the leading USA gas detection brands, including:
Honeywell / BW Technologies
MSA
Dräger
RKI Instruments
Industrial Scientific
3M Scott
If your device comes from a top manufacturer, we can calibrate it.
We follow a reliable, industry-standard calibration procedure to ensure accuracy and compliance.
We check your device for physical damage, blocked sensors, and battery condition.
A quick functional test using calibration gas to confirm sensors respond correctly.
Sensors are reset to baseline levels to eliminate drift before calibration.
We expose the detector to known gas concentrations for precise adjustments.
The detector is fine-tuned so readings match certified gas values.
We verify performance accuracy and ensure all sensors pass functional testing.
You receive a documented certificate that includes:
Device details
Date of calibration
Technician details
Gas values and test results
Pass/fail status
This certificate is essential for OSHA audits and safety inspections.
We proudly support safety-critical industries throughout Southern California, including:

If your facility uses gas detection equipment, we can help keep it accurate and compliant.
Most manufacturers and OSHA guidelines recommend:
Bump Test: Before each use
Full Calibration: Every 6 months
High-use or harsh environments: Every 30–90 days
After a failed bump test
After exposure to high gas concentrations
When the monitor has been stored for a long time
Regular calibration is the only way to ensure dependable gas detection in hazardous environments.
