Enhancing Sensistor® Sentrac® Hydrogen Leak Detector
Support for dual probes with AP29ECO
The latest Sensistor® Sentrac® Hydrogen Leak Detector upgrade expands the leak detector's capabilities even further. This article explains the benefits of Sentrac's dual probe capability with the AP29ECO Sampling Probe and its impact on leak testing efficiency.
It Leaks, but Where?
When it comes to leak detection of small and medium sized components, with expected leak sizes above 5x10-3 mbarl/sec, many users face the dilemma of which tracer gas leak test technique is best suited for their specific application. In general, the choice is between an integral chamber test with leak/no leak indication for the entire part or manual sniffing with a handheld probe for leak location. But what if you want both?
In many cases the integral leak test is performed first. But knowing that a component is leaking is not the end of the story. Operators may need to pinpoint the exact location of the leak in order to repair it, which means using soap spray, a water bath, or a separate hand probe for manual leak location. This two-step process not only doubles the time and the equipment required, but also adds complexity to the workflow.
Dual Probe Capability for Increased Performance
Previously, the Sensistor Sentrac Hydrogen Leak Detector was used in combination with the AP29ECO active probe for accumulation testing or with a handheld probe for manual leak location. The latest product upgrade provides Sentrac users with dual probe capability, allowing both the AP29ECO and hand probe to be used in a single set-up. With the ability to connect multiple probes simultaneously and perform different types of tests with ease, Sentrac is the right solution for both routine leak checks and more sensitive, high-precision leak tests in production.
Advantages of the AP29ECO Measurement Mode
In summary, the integration of the AP29ECO measurement mode represents a significant step forward for Sensistor Sentrac users. This development allows users to achieve higher levels of efficiency and productivity, positioning Sentrac as a more versatile and cost-effective leak detection solution.
- Versatility: Perform both accumulation test and manual pinpointing without switching devices
- Precision: The high sensitivity of the AP29ECO probe ensures accurate integral test results, while the hand probe enables precise leak location
- Convenience: One system for all your leak detection needs, from testing to pinpointing, saving operators time and effort
