3. 959 Leak Detetor
The 959 MacroTorr Helium Leak Detector fulfills the need for a rugged and dependable leak detector in the most demanding industrial applications. With its low price and cost of ownership, this unit is the most cost effective leak detector available. It is available in stand-alone, bench-top, and two-wheel cart configurations. We have designed these units with large externally-mounted primary pumps that deliver high roughing speeds for fast pump down times. The bench-top and cart-mounted versions are available with Agilent DS 302 rotary vane pumps or TriScroll 320 dry pumps.
- Rugged, easy to use, idea for many industrial applications
- Single button test activation, automatic pump down and transfer into test mode
- Vacuum testing at high inlet pressures – up to 1 Torr – shortens time-to-test
- Auto-protection from test port overpressure, power failures and operator errors
- Wet and dry versions available
3. PHD-4 Portable Leak Detector
The PHD-4 is a portable, compact leak detector that runs on its own battery for up to four hours. Weighing only 2.6 kg (5.7 lbs) including the battery, it can be taken anywhere. The PHD-4 detects very small leaks in objects that have a slight helium/air pressure inside. It is sensitive to helium concentrations as small as 2 parts per million which equivalent to a leak rate of 5 x 10-6 atm-cc/sec. This level of sensitivity is far superior to the performance of other means of detecting leaks such as bubble testing. To accomplish this it relies on Agilent’s proprietary and patented Selective Ion Pump Detection (SIPD) technology. Controlled by a microprocessor, the PHD-4 is easy to use with no training required. All tuning and zeroing are handled automatically. The display can be set to use any of four languages – English, French, German, and Italian.
- Sensitivity and portability in a very economical package
- Easy to use – no training required
- Battery power, and light weight (2.6 kg (5.7lbs)), make it ideal for field maintenance applications.
- Versatile – Suitable for many different applications
• Dependable – Long term operation
