Free White Paper: Why
Bump Testing Saves Lives
By: Dave Wagner, Director of Product
Knowledge, Industrial Scientific
Corporation
New data reveals the correlation between bump test intervals and gas
detector failures.
This white paper breaks new ground with an analysis of data collected
over a seven-year period. It goes beyond simply describing what the test
is and what it does. A solid correlation exists between a gas
detector’s
likelihood of failure and how often it is bump tested. This paper
explores that data, which supports the need for routine bump testing.
In this white paper, you will also learn:
• The probability of gas detector failures
• The reasons for gas detector failures
• Why bump tests can prevent these failures
• How to bump test more often with less time and effort
