EXAIR model 9207 ultrasonic leak detector

EXAIR’s model 9207 ultrasonic leak detector (ULD), a hand-held instrument engineered to help locate the source of leaks in a compressed air system, has received an upgrade in look and function. Up to 30% of the compressed air generated in industrial plants is wasted through leaks that go undetected. Testing the various unions, pipes, valves and fittings of a complete installation can be done quickly and effectively at distances up to 6.1 m away.

High-pressure gases create high-frequency turbulence when moving into an area with lower pressure, creating an ultrasonic sound. The ULD can detect these vibrations, creating an audible sound through supplied headphones as well as indicating intensity via a front-facing display as it moves closer to the leak origin. The ULD can be adjusted to filter out background noise in busier plants for fine-tuning sensitivity. The updated model offers a heightened ability to detect leaks in hard-to-reach areas while also complying with the IEC 61326-1 standard that designates its ability to operate in typical electromagnetic environments often found in industrial plants.

The product is CE compliant and comes with a hard-shell plastic case, headphones, parabola, tubular adaptor, tubular extension and AA batteries.
