Fast, reliable leak testing for critical airline components

INFICON helium, hydrogen andrefrigerant gas leak detectors
are used worldwide by a variety
of manufacturers and their
suppliers to ensure quality
throughout their manufacturing
and assembly operations.
Leak detection in aviation
puts very high demands onleak testing systems in termsof reliability, robustness andease of use. Experience
proves that traditional leakdetection methods such assoaping, penetrants, smoke andguesswork are not reliable andoften require long search times.

Hydrogen Leak Detector

FROM MANUFACTURING
TO MAINTENANCELeak tests of components canbe performed both manuallyor automatically, on small orlarge size parts, no matter thecomplexity of their geometries.
Assembled systems also need
to be leak tested in order toverify their integrity. During
MRO, fuel leaks must be found
fast to avoid long, expensivestops.
INFICON instruments are easy
to use, reliable and robust
making them the ideal tools inany maintenance kit.

INFICON leak detectors areeasy to use and move aroundthe work area. The ideal tools
in any maintenance situation.
Explosion proof detector
options are also available.

INFICON leak detectors are used worldwide in a variety ofapplications setting high quality-control standards in theaircraft industry and aviation in general.
EXTRIMA™ EX-CERTIFIED HYDROGEN
LEAK DETECTOR
Intrinsically safe instrument for leak detection in thetoughest environments, including hazardous locations
such as Zone 0 (corresponding to Division 1). Designed
to withstand rough handling in the field, Extrima isATEX, IECEx, NEPSI and CSA certified.
The Complete Gas Injection Kit is an accessory toExtrima for injecting trace gas into fuel leak pathways
for rapid localization during aircraft maintenance. A
complete set of accessories are packaged in a smart
and heavy-duty transport case.
ECOTEC® E3000A MULTI-GAS LEAK DETECTOR
Ecotec E3000A allows the operator to detect leaksby sniffing for the escape of a final medium likerefrigerants and GALDEN heat transfer fluids. The unit
can detect four gases selectively at any time. Ecotec
E3000A is designed to minimize operator error and tomaximize reliability of tests.
SENSISTOR XRS9012 HYDROGEN
LEAK DETECTORThe XRS9012 hydrogen leak detector combineshigh sensitivity, portability and pinpointing capacity
making this the ideal instrument for leak location onsystems such as galley cooling systems. A very short
recovery time enables new searches to be performed
immediately.
SENSISTOR SENTRAC™ HYDROGEN
LEAK DETECTORThis battery operated version of the Sentrac leakdetector is not only robust, but also easy to movearound. It is the perfect leak detection tool for MRO.
High sensitivity and short recovery time allow for leakdetection of both small and big leaks.
PROTEC® P3000(XL) HELIUM LEAK DETECTOR
The Protec P3000 uses helium as tracer gas to detectleaks by sniffing large surfaces like the outside of wingtanks. A sniffer with state of the art technology for
detecting leaks even at a distance.
