Portable hydrogen leak detector
The VARIOTEC® 460 Tracergas finds hydrogen leaks quickly and reliably — both in pure hydrogen pipelines and in pipelines carrying natural gas–hydrogen mixtures. The highly sensitive thermal-conductivity sensor detects minimal leakage quantities and displays measurement values in real time, supporting everything from large-scale prelocation to exact pinpointing. With an explosion-proof IP54 housing and digital documentation via USB, it enhances inspection safety and efficiency on gas networks, pipelines, heating systems, pressurised cables and high-voltage lines.
