Advanced Portable Detection: The XP-1A SF6 and Halogen Gas Leak Detector
For technicians and maintenance professionals across utilities, manufacturing, and industrial sectors, identifying gas leaks quickly, accurately, and safely is a critical task. The XP-1A Hand-held SF6 Gas Leak Detector presents a robust and highly sensitive solution designed for field use, targeting not only sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) but also a wide range of halogenated refrigerants.
Primary Applications
This versatile instrument is engineered for leak detection in equipment containing SF6 and other halogen gases. Its use cases span essential industries:
1.Electric Power Utilities: Critical for inspecting SF6-insulated circuit breakers, GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear), and other high-voltage equipment.
2.HVAC&R Service: Detects leaks of HFC, CFC, and HCFC refrigerants in air conditioning and refrigeration systems.
3.Broad Industrial Maintenance: Applicable in petrochemical plants, railway systems, mining operations, fire suppression system checks, and specialized research facilities.
Key Technical Features and Advantages
The XP-1A is designed with practical, user-centric features that enhance reliability and efficiency in the field:
1.High Sensitivity & Rapid Response: With an ultimate sensitivity of <3 g/year and an instantaneous response time, it pinpoints even minute leaks. An internal, efficient pump actively draws in samples, reducing lag and improving detection speed.
2.Durability and Contamination Resistance: The probe features a reset function that prevents sensor "poisoning" or saturation from large, sudden releases of gas, ensuring continued operation without immediate recalibration. It maintains performance in polluted atmospheres.
3.Intuitive Operation & Flexibility: A 7-level sensitivity adjustment allows adaptation to various background conditions. The probe incorporates a 35.5cm long, flexible stainless steel tip to access confined or difficult areas. Visual (18-level LED indicator) and audible alerts provide clear leak severity feedback.
4.Ready-to-Use Convenience: The instrument requires no calibration, has a short warm-up time of approximately 2 seconds, and features a quick 1-second sensor reset, maximizing productive work time.
