New Portable Gas Bump Tester for Remote Testing of Personal Gas Detectors
Crowcon has announced the availability of a new portable gas solution for bump testing. The new method eliminates the need to carry around cumbersome gas bottles and docking stations or return to base to test handheld gas detectors.
Resulting from an innovative reapplication of existing technology, the Crowcon Bump Test Gas Spray performs bump tests on handheld gas detectors, either on site or on-the-road, using a 12 litre spray canister. The gas is simply applied through a straw on the canister nozzle and a small amount of gas is sprayed into a calibration cap placed over the sensor.
“Having a fully portable 12 litre spray can and straw is just the ticket to test and calibrate on site. It could not be easier,” stated
Richard Dunn, Portable Product Manager, Crowcon. “With no regulator, no heavy gas bottle and no docking station, it’s a no brainer for bump testing.”
Traditionally, to conduct a bump test, an engineer would require heavy gas bottles, regulators, docking stations and other associated paraphernalia, but for most, this really is not an option. Engineers on-the-road have been asking for something to address this challenge.
“We have listened to our customer concerns and found a novel way to satisfy their requirements,” Richard Dunn added. “The gas cans can be bought in a range of gases or combination of gases to suit. The kit comes with a canister of chosen gas, nozzle, straw and an MSDS sheet.”
Crowcon is offering this solution as the most cost-effective and easiest way to bump test when mobile. Less equipment means less weight to carry and more room for storing productive equipment. Spray canisters are also covered by less demanding regulation (directives UN1950), helping keep costs down further.
Innovative New Accessory For Popular VOC Detector Launched

Ion Science has developed an innovative new accessory to complement its popular Tiger handheld volatile organic compound (VOC) detector. Specially developed for use within continuous area monitoring programmes, the USB to RS232 converter module can be deployed at accident and major excavation sites to help ensure the general public and workers stay protected from potentially harmful VOC gases.

This exciting new accessory has been designed by Ion Science so customers can use the Tiger photoionisation (PID) instrument alongside their existing continuous area monitoring equipment. It enables the PID signal from the robust handheld device to be transmitted to a base station allowing the site perimeter to be continuously monitored when digging up the ground in public areas.
It has opened up a whole raft of possibilities for the Tiger as the output reading can be connected to a LAN, transmitted to a WIFI network or even outputted to a GPRS device.
The accessory requests data from the Tiger’s USB and outputs the reading via RS232 at a rate of 1/second, regardless of whether a host device such as a laptop or PC is present.
It is already in use in the USA where it has allowed the Tiger to be used as a solution for detecting VOCs within vital continuous area monitoring systems.
A suitable RS232 connector is required to connect between the new accessory and other equipment such as data loggers and telemetry systems. A red LED indicated the status of the accessory and is visible from the box lid.
Andrew Scott, Product Manager at Ion Science comments: “The new accessory was developed in response to customer demand for a more mobile PID instrument that is capable of giving live readings back to a master controller. It has opened up a whole world of connectivity and means action can be taken immediately if VOCs are present.”
The Tiger VOC detector is independently verifi ed by the state of Maine Department of Environmental Protection (ME DEP) as the best performing PID in humid and contaminated applications, allowing extended operation in diffi cult working conditions.
It provides a dynamic detection range of 1 parts per billion (ppb) to 20,000 parts per million (ppm), offering the widest measurement range of any other VOC instrument on the market.
Ready to use, straight out of the box, the Tiger requires no complex set up procedures via a PC to perform basic functions and provides the best available VOC detection and software features available.
Ion Science’s Tiger also has the fastest response time on the market of just two seconds and can be connected directly to a PC via the USB offering extremely fast data download capabilities.
It has been designed for the safe replacement of batteries in hazardous environments and is intrinsically safe (IS) - meeting ATEX, IECEx, UL and CSA standards.

Gas detector, gas monitor, gas analyser - sometimes we even hear gas tester. However, there are many terms used to identify gas detection equipment. No matter what the confusion is, a1-cbiss can help.
Whether you are uncertain of what is needed, ordering equipment on behalf of someone else, or struggling to fi nd support tools to make product comparisons, don’t worry; the a1-cbiss gas detection specialists are available to help with recommendations.
When selecting gas detection equipment, it is important to think about the following: • Which gas hazards are present and need to be detected • Is the monitoring equipment required to continuously monitor gas or used for spot sampling
• Whether the gas detection equipment for the protection of a person, a team of people or protection of the plant
• Is there a requirement for fi xed or portable gas detection equipment • Conditions of the application - dark, wet, loud, confi ned space etc • Which level of gas is present - ppb, ppm, % • What do you want the equipment to do? - alarm, datalog, communicate to a control system
a1-cbiss have over 25 years of experience of supplying gas monitoring systems into hazardous applications in industrial markets.
At a1-cbiss we have gas detection specialists on hand to answer your technical queries. We have a team available to take your call over the phone, have dialogue via email or if you wish to talk face to face, we can organise for a specialist to visit your site.
Because of the structure that we have in place at a1-cbiss, we are able to send a gas detection specialist to visit your site to conduct a site survey. Clients will feel the benefi t of a site survey because the gas detection specialist carrying out the survey is able to fully visualise the scale of the site and locate where gas detection is required.
The gas detection specialist can also discuss the gas detection requirements with the client to specify what is needed with regard to gas sensor positioning, installation costs, ongoing service and calibration requirements and therefore price up the job accurately.
