    Agilent PHD-4 Portable Helium Leak Detector

    A portable helium leak detector maximising productivity and uptime

    Agilent PHD-4 Portable Helium Leak Detector

    About

    The PHD-4 sniffer leak detector is able to detect very small leaks in objects that have a slight helium/air pressure inside.
    Agilent PHD-4 Portable Helium Leak Detector The lightweight and rugged sniffer is sensitive to helium concentrations as small as 2 ppm- equivalent to a leak rate of 5x 10-6 atm-cc/sec, far superior to the performance by other means of detecting leaks, such as bubble-testing. The PHD-4 sensitivity relies on Agilent’s proprietary and patented SIPD (Selective Ion Pump Detection) technology. Since it is controlled by a microprocessor, the PHD-4 is easy to use with no training required. All tuning and zeroing are handled automatically. The display can be set to use any of four languages (English, French, German, and Italian).

    A easy to use, no training required, portable helium detector suitable for a range of environments including large vessels & bioreactors, underground pipes & storage tanks, water heating & cooling pipes, and aeroplane fuel tanks & lines. The PHD-4 is in daily use in many other applications. Its portability makes it ideal for factory and field maintenance in areas such as:

    • Components and systems for the Chemical and Petrochemical Industries
    • Compressed air components and delivery systems
    • Process gas delivery lines in Semiconductor fabrication industry

    Additional Information

    • The PHD-4 weighs only 2,6 Kg (5.7 lbs) including the battery
    • Wide range of uses: replaces or can be used with existing methods such as bubble test or pressure decay
    • State-of-the-art microprocessor control allows great simplicity of operation
    • Fully automatic start-up
    • Ready for test in less than 3 minutes
    • Excellent selectivity for helium allows you to read helium leaks and ignore all other gases
    • Helium sensitivity can be adjusted as required to minimize test costs and helium consumption
    • Can operate either on battery power or connected to an outlet
