ION Science SF6 Leakmate Detector

The SF6 Leakmate leak detector by ION Science is a great device for mobile SF6 leak detection. In practical use, it has a detection threshold of 1 x 10E-6 mbar l/s, which makes it perfectly suitable for simple leak detection applications on SF6 switchgear.

The easy-to-use, processor-controlled instrument features both an audible alarm and an LED bar graph display, allowing estimation if a small, medium or big leak is being detected. The leak detector automatically compensates all ambient influences like temperature changes or movement of air in the room. Intelligent control sets up the instrument appropriately for the ambient situation.

It then uses the present gas concentration as its zero line and begins to look for even higher gas concentrations, which by all means occur when a leak is approached. This will again be indicated audibly and visually. It is possible to determine leaks even in seriously contaminated areas.

The reason why customers love the SF6 Leakmate from ION Science is due to its key features, such as selectable sensitivity, an automatic zero option, battery test display, and audio alarms when the instrument detects an unsafe environment. A range of applications utilize the device, such as service and maintenance in SF6 switchgear production and mobile leak detection on test equipment for differential pressure, mass flow and more.
