If you own a gas detector, regular calibration and servicing are crucial. Gas detectors play a vital role in safety by alerting users to the presence of hazardous gases—but like any precision instrument, they require consistent maintenance to operate accurately and reliably.
Calibrating a gas detector is a straightforward process, but it’s one that must be done routinely to ensure the device provides accurate readings. While there are many types and models of gas detectors on the market—each with its own specific calibration requirements—the core principle remains the same: regular calibration ensures your gas detector continues to offer reliable protection against dangerous gases.
By maintaining your gas detector properly, you’re not just preserving the device—you’re protecting your people, your facility, and your operations.
If you use a gas detector, regular calibration and servicing are essential. These instruments are critical for safety, alerting users to the presence of harmful gases before they reach dangerous levels. Like any precision tool, gas detectors require routine maintenance to ensure they function reliably and accurately.
Gas detector calibration is a relatively straightforward process, but it must be performed consistently to maintain precision. While each detector may have its own calibration protocol depending on the manufacturer and sensor type, the principle remains the same: calibration ensures your gas detector provides accurate readings and continues to protect people and assets from harm.
Calibration involves adjusting the detector to align with known reference standards, ensuring the measurements it provides are as accurate as possible. At Vytl Controls Group, all calibrations are carried out by trained and certified technicians using advanced equipment.
We offer both in-lab and on-site calibration services, including remote support options, depending on your operational needs. As an official service partner of Riken Keiki, we are authorized to calibrate and maintain a wide range of gas detection devices in full accordance with international standards.

Riken Keiki gas detectors are known for their reliability, but like any precision instrument, they require regular calibration to maintain accuracy. There are two main methods for calibrating Riken Keiki detectors: field calibration and laboratory calibration. Field calibration is quick and convenient, making it ideal for on-site adjustments, though it offers slightly less precision. Laboratory calibration, while more time-consuming and costly, provides the highest level of accuracy.
Regardless of the method, routine calibration is essential to ensure your Riken Keiki gas detector continues to deliver dependable performance.
Field calibration is a straightforward process. You’ll need a Riken Keiki gas detector, a compatible calibration gas from SEMA Gases, and a Riken Keiki calibration adapter. Here’s how it works:
Calibration gases are used to adjust and validate the readings of gas detectors. These gases typically consist of nitrogen mixed with a known concentration of the target gas. For example, a methane calibration gas might contain mostly nitrogen with a precise amount of methane.
Span gases differ from standard calibration gases. They are used to test the detector’s performance at the high and low ends of its measurement range. For instance, if a methane detector is calibrated for a 0–100 ppm range, a 50 ppm calibration gas is used to fine-tune it. A 10,000 ppm span gas might then be used to confirm whether the device can accurately detect values near or beyond its upper threshold. If the detector doesn’t respond correctly to the span gas, it may require recalibration or servicing.
At Vytl Controls Group, we specialize in both field and laboratory calibration of Riken Keiki gas detectors. As an official service partner, we use certified calibration and span gases, and all services are performed by factory-trained technicians. Reach out to us for expert support in keeping your gas detection systems compliant and reliable.
When dealing with critical instrumentation, especially gas detectors, you need complete confidence in their performance—both before and after calibration or service. That’s why trust in the technician handling your equipment is just as important as the technology itself.
At Vytl Controls Group, all service technicians working on gas detection instruments are trained and certified by the original manufacturer. This ensures every calibration or inspection meets the highest standards. It’s how we bring the precision and expertise of Riken Keiki—from Tokyo—all the way to Rotterdam.
