Gas Measuring Devices Laboratory
The Gas Detection Equipment Testing Laboratory can be divided into two sections. The first focuses on testing devices for detecting hazardous gases, while the second deals with the analysis of solid fuels.
The first section is an accredited laboratory under the PN-EN 17025 standard, holding PCA accreditation certificate No. AB 261. It specializes in testing carbon monoxide detectors (PN-EN 50291-1), toxic gas sensors (PN-EN 45544-1), and explosion-proof devices (PN-EN 60079-11).
Additionally, the laboratory conducts tests on sensors outside the scope of accreditation, including combustible/explosive and toxic gas detectors.
The Gas Detection Laboratory is equipped with specialized equipment that allows for the precise selection of gas mixtures suitable for the type of device being tested. It also includes climate chambers that enable the adjustment of gas parameters (such as setting specific gas temperature and humidity), as well as meters for measuring electrical parameters, sound intensity, and other necessary apparatus for conducting both prototype and final product testing of gas detection devices.
The second part of the laboratory specializes in solid fuel analysis and is equipped with advanced chemical analyzers and essential tools for analyzing coal, pellets, and sludge. These analyses provide detailed measurements of:
- transient and total moisture content,
- ash content,
- heat of combustion and calorific value,
- volatile matter content,
- total sulfur content,
- total carbon content,
- total hydrogen content,
- Reduction Index (RI)
- sieve analysis,
The laboratory also participates in innovative projects, collaborating in the development of alternative solid fuels.
Service recipients
The laboratory’s services are aimed at companies and institutions that require testing of hazardous gas detection devices and solid fuel analysis to ensure safety and assess the composition of substances.
