Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about XNX calibration:
Can I perform bump‑tests instead of a full calibration?
Bump‑tests verify alarm response only; they don't adjust sensor drift. OSHA recognises them as supplementary but not a replacement for full calibration.
Are 2022 kits still valid for 2023 calibrations?
Yes, provided the cylinder is within shelf‑life (usually 24 months) and concentration remains within ±2%.
Where can I buy OEM calibration gas?
Authorised distributors include Instrumart (U.S.) and JJS Technical Services (global).
