Tracer Gas Testing Equipment
Our tracer gas recovery systems are available in six models up to 300 psig and designed to provide precision testing and high recovery efficiency up to 98.
Tracer gas testing equipment. Tracer gas will surface directly above the leak. The tracer gas leak test uses escaping tracer gas to identify micro leaks in the range of 1x10 4 to 10 9 scc s. With tracer gas method test parts remain dry and measurement are unaffected by temperature changes and elasticity. Variotec 460 the sewerin variotec 460 leak detector is designed to locate leaks where acoustical systems cannot e g extremely deep pipe loud ambient industrial sites etc or where newly installed water systems are failing air pressure testing.
A tracer gas leak test can be used to test parts with very low leak rates that are outside the range for conventional air flow pressure decay and mass flow testing or to replace bubble test methods. The actual gas mix is a safe combination of 5 hydrogen and 95 nitrogen. Tracer gas leak testing is used in the petrochemical industry the automotive industry and in the manufacture of semiconductors among other uses. A tracer gas leak testing method is a nondestructive testing method that detects gas leaks a variety of methods with different sensitivities exist.
The vtech uno he tracer gas sniffing leak test system is designed for leak testing of coils and other components as well as refrigeration and a c sealed systems in a high production environment. Hydrogen is the lightest and least hazardous of all gases it spreads rapidly throughout the test part and seeps quickly through the smallest leak.
