Drager 8317970 Calibration Adapter for X-am 7000

Buy Drager 8317970 Calibration Adapter for X-am 7000

The DRAGER 8317970 Calibration Adapter is a precision-engineered safety component designed for testing, bumping and calibrating the Dräger X-am 7000 multi-gas detector range.

Safety monitoring in hazardous, restricted maritime or industrial situations demands accurate sensor responses to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and flammable vapours. The adapter establishes a hermetic seal around the sensor array of the instrument, enabling a regulated supply of test gases without ambient dilution. It’s built to exacting German engineering standards, avoiding localised sensor contamination and keeping your gas detection assets fully compatible with international safety laws.

Product Specifications

Features and Benefits

1. Optimised Vapour Delivery Matrix form-fitted specifically to reduce condensation or degradation of reactive organic gases and vapours during cross calibration.
2. Hermetic Zero-Leak Seal Rugged rubberized contours fit snugly onto X-am 7000 housing to prevent ambient air infiltration for accurate span measurements.
3. Integrated Gas Path Control Flow channels are meant to prevent pressure build up over sensitive catalytic, infrared and electrochemical sensors.
4. High-Durability Matrix: constructed from chemically inert, impact-resistant materials to tolerate contact with corrosive hydrocarbons and harsh offshore environments.
5. Plug-and-Play Integration: Mechanical interconnections make setup time seamless for crucial routine pre-docking bump testing or onboard safety drills.

Where to Use?

1. Confined Space Entry (CSE): Prior to cargo tank, ballast tank, or void space inspections, bump testing of gas monitors shall be performed.
2. Offshore Oil & Gas Platforms: Frequent validation of sensors on drilling decks and processing modules in contact with volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
3. Marine Safety Audits: Conducting mandatory monthly or pre-voyage safety equipment checks to meet IMO and OCIMF SIRE compliance.
4. Industrial Plant Shutdowns: At chemical refineries and storage terminals, multi-gas instrumentation is tested before hot-work is allowed.

Maintenance and Calibration Tips:

1. Avoid cross-contamination Vapours lead to micro-residues. Always purge the adapter with 100% dry nitrogen or clean synthetic air for 30 seconds after calibrating heavy hydrocarbons to prevent residual drift on your next zero point check.
2. Check the Sealing Ring: Before attaching the adapter onto the X-am 7000, check the inner mating rim for micro-tears or salt-crust deposits which are prevalent in maritime conditions. If the seal is broken, it will let in ambient air and cause the span readings to be wrong.
3. Flow Rate Regulation: Do not exceed the Dräger advised flow velocity. Overpressure can cause the gas to be forced into the sensor capillaries harming the fragile membranes and creating false positive drift.
