SF6 LeakCheck P1:p
SF6 gas leak detector
The SF6 LeakCheck P1:p is an award winning SF6 gas leak detector that uses negative Ion Capture (NIC) technology designed for location, leak testing and detection of SF6 leaks in high electrical switchgear.
The SF6 gas leak detector rapidly detects SF6 gas leaks down to 1 x 10-8 ml/sec with a quick clear down of less than 1 second. The SF6 gas leak detector is unaffected by the exposure to large SF6 gas leaks and will continue to remain uncontaminated even after the exposure to 100% SF6 gas.

Features
The SF6 gas leak detector has a range of accessories available including the 5, 10 and 15 metre extension hose and the 300 & 500mm flexible probe extender.
Ultimate Performance
- Ultra high sensitivity with a 1 x 10-8 ml/sec* (*Highsense option)
- Unaffected by large SF6 gas leaks and 100% SF6 meaning no frustrating delays between searches
- Lightweight ergonomically designed hand sensor
Ultimate Safety
- 1 second rise and clear down for rapid SF6 gas leak detection
- Simple data storage and printing for analysis
- Non-radioactive source for easy storage and transportation
Ultimate Flexibility
- No training required – switch on and go
- Choice of display units cc/sec, gm/yr and ppm for monitoring conformance to leak minimisation targets
