Leak detection and detectors
See also Hydrogen detectors
If you know that your test object is leaking, in most applications
you will have a need to know where the leak is. Either for being
able to repair rejected products, or for monitoring weak spots
in your production process.
Hydrogen
trace gas is ideal for pin-pointing leaks of any size above 5x10E-7
ml/s . Soaping may be very cheap, but doesn't work if the leaks
are small. Even big leaks are difficult to see with soap because
the air blows away the soap film. Other tracer gases are either
too heavy or too sticky and tends to linger around the leak thereby
making it difficult to pin-point a leak.
Hydrogen
trace gas is ideal. Hydrogen is so light that it spreads evenly
out from the leak and does not give you false locations. Because
it disperses so well, you easily avoid background problems.

Sensistor’s hydrogen leak detectors are specially designed
for locating leaks with maximum ease. Switch on the detector, move
the hand probe over the object, listen to the sound signal and there
will be no doubts where the leak is. |
The
Standard industrial grade mix of 5% hydrogen in nitrogen is used. This
mix is inexpensive, non- flammable, easily available and still holds the
important features needed for using hydrogen as trace gas.
If you do leak testing
using an air pressure decay system you may get leaks in your test equipment
or in the connections to the test object. These cause false rejects
and must be found. Adding Trace Gas Filler TGF10 and Hydrogen Leak Detector
H2000 PLUS to your equipment allows you to locate these leaks and minimizes
downtime
