What types of leaks can the PHD-4 Helium Leak Detector identify?
The PHD-4 is designed to detect very small leaks using helium gas. It can identify leaks with helium concentrations as low as 2 ppm, equivalent to a leak rate of 5 x 10^-6 atm-cc/sec.
How does the PHD-4 compare to traditional leak detection methods?
The PHD-4 is more sensitive and precise than traditional methods like bubble-testing. It provides faster and more accurate results, even for extremely small leaks.
Is the PHD-4 easy to operate for new users?
Yes, the PHD-4 is user-friendly and microprocessor-controlled. It requires no prior training to operate and includes automatic tuning and zeroing features.
What languages are supported by the PHD-4's display?
The PHD-4 features a multilingual display and supports English, French, German, and Italian.
What is SIPD technology, and how does it enhance leak detection?
SIPD (Selective Ion Pump Detection) technology is an advanced method for detecting helium gas. It allows the PHD-4 to achieve high sensitivity and accuracy, making it suitable for detecting extremely small leaks.
Can the PHD-4 be used in diverse applications or industries?
Yes, the PHD-4 is versatile and can be used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and manufacturing, wherever helium leak detection is required.
Does the device need frequent calibration?
No, the PHD-4 has automatic tuning and zeroing, reducing the need for frequent manual calibration.
Can the PHD-4 detect other gases apart from helium?
No, the PHD-4 is specifically designed to detect helium and cannot be used for detecting other gases.
Is this device portable and suitable for fieldwork?
Yes, the PHD-4 is compact and lightweight, making it suitable for on-site and fieldwork applications.
