Ultra-Sensitive SF6 Leak Detection
The SF6 LeakCheck P1:p is an award-winning SF6 leak detector that ensures incredibly fast searching at ultra-sensitive levels. Even the smallest leaks can be located swiftly, with a minimum detection level of 1 x 10-7 ml/sec, or an optional 1 x 10-8 ml/sec, equivalent to a grain of rice per year.
Designed for SF6 gas leak testing and measurement in high voltage electrical switchgear, the instrument uses award-winning Negative Ion Capture (NIC) technology and is unaffected by exposure to large leaks or 100% SF6. Even after saturation, clear down remains rapid at under one second, eliminating frustrating delays between searches.
A non-radioactive source removes the registration, storage and transportation issues of traditional radioactive ECD detectors, while requiring no argon or other pressurised gases for a lower cost of ownership. Datalogging, audio and visual alarms, a touchscreen and a robust portable case round out this switch-on-and-go instrument, backed by a 2 year warranty when registered online.
