Description

SF6 LeakCheck P1:p is a revolution in SF6 leak detection, ensuring incredibly fast searching at ultra sensitive levels. Even the smallest of leaks can be detected and located swiftly with a minimum detection level of 1 x 10^-7ml/sec or optional 1 x 10^-8ml/sec, equivalent to a grain of rice per year!

Designed for SF6 gas leak testing and measurement in high voltage electrical SF6 switchgear, the instrument also detects other gases with a high affinity forelectrons, such as refrigerant R12.

A unique advantage of the instrument is that it is unaffected by exposure to large leaks. Even after saturation or exposure to leaks of 100%, clear down remains rapid (<1s). The SF6 gas leak detector also benefits from having a non-radioactive source, eliminating registration, storage and transportation issues found with traditional radioactive ECD SF6 gas leak detectors.

Additional features of the SF6 gas leak detector include data-logging, alarms; both audio and visual, and a robust portable case. The instrument requires no consumables, such as Argon, reducing the ongoing costs of operation. There are no items requiring maintenance or service in the handgun or console.

The P1:p SF6 gas leak detector meets the demands for quality and traceability to international standards as required by today’s industry. It is designed for the location, leak testing and measurement of SF6 leaks in  high voltage electrical switchgear.

The instrument’s award winning Negative Ion Capture (NIC) technology with non-radioactive source eliminates problems of registration, storage and transportation.
