INFICON Receives R&D 100 Award for T-Guard Leak Detection Sensor
Syracuse, NY - July 13, 2010: INFICON, a worldwide leading provider of measurement and control instrumentation as well as process control software for advanced industrial vacuum processes, has received an R&D 100 Award for the T-Guard Leak Detection Sensor. The R&D 100 Awards salute the 100 most technologically significant products and processes introduced into the marketplace over the past year.
The award-winning T-Guard Leak Detection Sensor combines the sensitivity and speed of helium leak detection with the cost of pressure decay systems. Its unique design works with simple chambers at atmospheric pressure, eliminating the need for costly and complex high-vacuum chambers and pumps. T-Guard Leak Detection Sensor is a reliable alternative to pressure decay and water bath leak detection, providing up to 100 times the sensitivity with low cost of ownership and high ease of use.
