Agilent / Varian PHD-4 Sniffer : Top Choice in Malaysia, Penang, Singapore, Indonesia Hexo Industries (M) Sdn Bhd

Description

Agilent / (previously is Varian) PHD-4 Sniffer Helium Leak Detector

The Agilent / (previously is Varian) PHD-4 sniffer helium leak detector is able to detect very small leaks in objects that have a slight helium/air pressure inside. The lightweight and rugged sniffer is sensitive to helium concentrations as small as 2 ppm- equivalent to a leak rate of 5x 10-6 atm-cc/sec, far superior to the performance by other means of detecting leaks, such as bubble-testing. The PHD-4 sensitivity relies on Agilent’s proprietary and patented SIPD (Selective Ion Pump Detection) technology. Since it is controlled by a microprocessor, the PHD-4 is easy to use with no training required. All tuning and zeroing are handled automatically.

Features

The PHD-4 weighs only 2,6 Kg (5.7 lbs) including the battery
Wide range of uses: Replaces or can be used with existing methods such as bubble test or pressure decay
State-of-the-art microprocessor control allows great simplicity of operation
Fully automatic start-up
Ready for test in less than 3 minutes
Excellent selectivity for helium allows you to read helium leaks and ignore all other gases
Helium sensitivity can be adjusted as required to minimize test costs and helium consumption
Can operate either on battery power or connected to an outlet line voltage
The display can be set to use any of four languages (English, French, Germany, or Italian)

Reasons for using our Helium Leak Detectors for Fine Leak Testing
Leak testing is crucial because, well, everything leaks! Here are the fundamental reasons for performing leak tests:

Preventing Material Loss by Leakage Detecting and addressing leaks ensures that valuable materials are not lost due to escaping gases.
Avoiding Contamination Leaks can introduce contaminants into a system, affecting product quality and reliability.
Ensuring Product Performance and Reliability Leak-free products perform better and are more reliable, leading to satisfied customers.
Reducing Liability Leaks can lead to safety hazards, environmental issues, and legal liabilities.
Minimizing Production Output Loss System downtime caused by leaks can significantly impact production output.

All of these factors contribute to improved quality and reduced warranty costs.

Why Hexo Uses Helium as a Tracer Gas?

Helium’s Properties:
- Helium, with a molecular weight of 4 atomic mass units (amu), is readily available worldwide.
- Its low background noise makes it an excellent choice for leak detection applications.
- Helium is non-toxic, non-flammable, inert, and not easily absorbed.
- It allows for non-destructive testing (NDT).

Why Choose Hexo:

Variety of Helium Leak Detector Models: Hexo offers different models to suit your specific needs.
Pump Options: Dry pumps or oil pumps are available for both cleanroom and non-cleanroom environments.
Customizable Pumping Speed: Choose the pumping speed based on your process requirements.
Flexible Types: Hexo provides options with or without carts, as well as handheld detectors.
Suitable for Various Test Methods: Whether it’s spray vacuum or sniffing, Hexo detectors can handle different testing approaches.
Comprehensive Support: Accessories, spare parts, and calibration services are available from Malaysia factory. Our experienced team provides technical support and training after sales.
Rental Units: If needed, you can rent Hexo Helium Leak Detectors.

Hexo Helium Leak Detectors are available for sale in Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, and the South East Asia Region.
