Instrument can be operated with little or no training: simply turn it on, zero, and point its thin pencil-tip probe at the area of interest
Gow-Mac Instrument introduces the model 21-070 mini gas leak detector.
This simple to use detector is engineered for easy, one hand operation of detecting leaks in GC systems or any pressurised gas system in laboratory or industrial locations.
The instrument can be operated with little or no training, says the company.
Simply turn the instrument on, zero, and point its thin pencil-tip probe at the area of interest.
The probe is designed to reach difficult and confined locations to pinpoint the exact problem location.
An LED display visually indicates leaks.
An audible alarm also signals a leak.
No messy soap solutions.
No system contamination.
Response time is said to be less than two seconds for all gases.
Helium leaks of 1x10-5cc/sec are easily detected, as are other gases such as refrigerant leaks of 1.1x10-4cc/sec, it is claimed.
The 21-070 features microprocessor control with computer interfacing (optional), selectable sensitivity settings, as well as flash memory for saving various settings, ie, alarm mode, alarm set-point, alarm volume, peak hold delay, LED brightness, sensitivity, and pump speed.
The 21-070 mini gas leak detector weighs only 476 grams and has a rechargeable Ni-Cd battery.
A charger is also included.
