Leak Detection System

Additional Details

Rapid detection & measurement of SF6 leaks with non-radioactive source helping to reduce emissions and protect the environment. ION Science SF6 Leak Detectors is based on revolutionary negative ion capture (N1C) technology. ION Science SF6 Leak Detectors is a revolution in SF6 leak detection, ensuring incredibly fast searching at ultra sensitive levels. Even the smallest of leaks can be detected, measured and located swiftly with a minimum detection level of 1 x 10³ ml/sec or optional l x 10 E4 ml/sec equivalent to a grain of rice per year.

Easy-to-use touch screen display: SF6 Leak Detectors has a unique touch screen display allowing quick and easy navigation through their menu structure. In measure mode the screen displays the leak rate in large numerical format. In search mode a bar graph represents the scale of the leak detected as a percentage of the set alarm.

SF6 and the Environment: SF6 is a well-known greenhouse gas and, according to the U.S. EPA, its global warming potential is 23,900 times greater than that of CO2, due in part to its atmospheric lifetime of 3,200 years. Due to its destructive potential, SF6 gas was included in the Kyoto Protocol under which emission reduction targets apply. SF6 is a man-made gas and is largely harmless to humans, which has enabled its use in many processes, from the filling of tennis balls to magnesium production. The single biggest use for the gas is as an insulator in high voltage switchgear. It is in this application that the SF6 Leak detectors excel, due to their rapid response to tiny leaks and fast clear down even after saturation.
