The VARIOTEC® 460 Tracergas by Sewerin is a specialized instrument designed for the precise detection of leaks in underground pipelines using tracer gas methods. By introducing a safe mixture of 95% nitrogen and 5% hydrogen into the pipeline, the device detects escaping hydrogen at leak points, allowing for accurate localization even in challenging conditions where traditional acoustic methods may be ineffective.

This device features a gas-sensitive semiconductor sensor with minimal cross-sensitivity to moisture and methane, ensuring reliable readings with a resolution down to 0.1 ppm H₂. Its user-friendly interface includes a large display and intuitive menu structure, facilitating quick and dependable results. When paired with the bell probe D80, the VARIOTEC® 460 Tracergas achieves exceptional response times, enhancing field efficiency. Additionally, the thermal-conductivity sensor accommodates measurements up to 100% volume H₂, broadening its application scope.

Designed for field durability, the device operates on four AA-size rechargeable batteries, which can be fully charged in just three hours, providing at least eight hours of continuous use. Alternatively, disposable batteries can be utilized. Measurement data can be stored and transferred via a USB interface for comprehensive analysis and documentation.
