Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) detector
SF6 GasCheck® P1 ION Science

SF6 GasCheck P1 is designed for the location, leak testing and measurement of SF6 gas in high voltage electrical switchgear and many other leak detection applications. This instrument has none of the problems of registration, storage and transportation associated with instruments based on the radioactive source ECD principle, which also require high purity and high pressure Argon gas. Data Storage and printing at the touch of a button. Although designed for SF6 in switchgear other gases with a high affinity for electrons, such as refrigerant R12 may also be detected.

The negative ion capture (NIC) detector is combined with \'smart sensor\' technology. There are no items requiring maintenance or service in the handgun or console.

This instrument meets the demands for quality and traceability to International standards as required by today's industry.

SF6 GasCheck P1 is now also available with a highsense option detecting leaks as small as 1 x 10-8 ml/sec!
