Applications
Detection, location, and measurement of SF6 gas leaks in gas-insulated electrical equipment.
Determination of SF6 leakage rates during final inspection and quality control of gas-filled equipment.
Key Features
High sensitivity: Detects SF6 gas concentrations as low as 0.6 ppmv.
Selective gas detection: Responds specifically to SF6, eliminating interference from humidity and common volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Advanced infrared technology: Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor ensures accurate and reliable measurements.
Fast response time: Enables quick identification and assessment of gas leaks.
User-friendly operation: Clear digital displays on both the handheld probe and main unit.
Factory calibrated: Calibrated using certified reference gases for reliable measurement performance.
Adjustable zero reference: Allows compensation for background SF6 concentrations.
Optional audible alarm: Provides an acoustic warning when preset gas concentration limits are exceeded, depending on the instrument version.
Description
Precise SF6 Gas Leak Detection
The GIR10 Infrared Gas Leak Detector is designed to identify extremely low concentrations of SF6 gas, making it an effective solution for locating leaks and assessing their severity in gas-insulated electrical equipment.
With a detection capability down to 0.6 ppmv, the GIR10 supports accurate leak detection during equipment maintenance, inspection, and quality control.
Advanced Infrared Measurement Technology
Using non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology, the GIR10 delivers fast response times and stable, reliable measurements, even when detecting very small leaks.
Its selective measurement principle responds specifically to SF6 gas, minimizing interference from moisture and common volatile organic compounds.
Flexible and Convenient Operation
The system consists of a handheld detection probe and a main console, both equipped with easy-to-read digital displays for convenient monitoring of SF6 concentrations.
A flexible gooseneck probe allows operators to access confined or difficult-to-reach areas. A replaceable inlet filter prevents particles from entering the measurement system, protecting the infrared sensor.
An integrated pump continuously draws gas samples through the infrared sensor chamber, ensuring consistent measurement conditions.
Reliable Leak Identification
The GIR10 features an adjustable zero-reference function, allowing operators to compensate for existing background SF6 concentrations. Once the background level is set to zero, any positive reading indicates an increase in SF6 concentration, simplifying leak identification.
Depending on the configuration, an audible alarm can be activated when predefined concentration thresholds are exceeded.
The GIR10 combines high sensitivity, selective infrared detection, and intuitive operation, providing a reliable solution for SF6 leak detection, equipment inspection, and maintenance applications.
