INFICON :: COOL NEWS - Best Practices for Leak Detection


T-Guard - Available in January '09

The new T-Guard™ helium leak detector: Smallest Leak Detector on the market and 100 times more sensitive than conventional testing.

Ideal for RAC component leak testing, the new T-Guard™ helium leak detector closes the gap between pressure decay systems and the more costly vacuum chamber systems. Already successfully tested by several integrators in Europe, America and Asia, T-Guard™ gives faster results and is approximately 100 times more sensitive than pressure decay and water bath leak testing. The measurement you get is independent of temperature and humidity.

Smallest and smartest leak tester - T-Guard™ does helium chamber leak detection at atmospheric pressure. Its Wise Technology™ sensor enables leak rate measurements of 10-1 to 10-6 mbar l/s and eliminates the need for a costly vacuum tight chamber or big and costly vacuum pumps.

T-Guard™ technical data:

Smallest detectable leak rate 1 x 10-6 mbar l/s (1 x 10-7 Pa m³/s)
Measurement range 5 decades
Response time of the sensor 450 ms
Total response time < 1 s
Leak rate units mbar l/s, Torr l/s, Pa m³/s, ppm
Run up time < 3 min
Dimensions (LxWxH) 256 x 130 x 272 mm (10" x 5" x 11")
Weight 4.5 kg (10 lbs)
Gas flow 180 sccm
Permissible ambient temperature +10 °C … +50 °C (50 °F … 122 °F)
Operating voltage 24 V
