New approach to leak detection

Leak detection is no longer limited to a choice between a water bath, pressure decay or a mass spectrometer.

Leak detection is no longer limited to a choice between a water bath, pressure decay or a mass spectrometer.

Sensistor Technologies, an established leader within the leak detection and leak testing industry, has developed the H2000T which uses hydrogen as a tracer gas to detect leaks.

This breakthrough industrial leak detection instrument offers exceptional leak testing capabilities.

The H2000 is a compact and robust system that is extremely sensitive to hydrogen gas and can be used to detect leaks that are smaller than a bacterium.

Using a safe, nonhazardous 5% hydrogen in 95% nitrogen mixture, it offers flexible detection solutions for a variety of applications, including the ability to disclose and localise leaks, as well as the detection of leaks with high sensitivity, independent of temperature.

Easily transportable, the H2000 is suitable for leak detection in tough factory environments and is easy to move around when searching for leaks on a large object such as an aircraft.

It is entirely electronic, requiring no pumps, valves, or vacuums and, thus, needs minimum maintenance.

The H2000 has dynamic background compensation and minimises problems with background interference, because hydrogen gas is dissipated much quicker than other gases.

"Sensistor Technologies developed the method of using hydrogen for leak testing and leak detection to bridge the gap between simpler methods such as the water bath and more complex methods such as the mass spectrometer", states Mikael Ekstrom, Vice President of Marketing at Sensistor.

The instrument features a standard probe with no sample suction, so dust contamination is prevented.

The probe can also be equipped with a protective cover that allows leak detection on wet objects.

If damaged, the operator can easily replace the probe in just a few seconds.

In addition, standard settings on the instrument can be easily changed using the H2000's user-friendly display menu.
