XL3000flex sniffer leak detector is the first device to detect leaks with forming gas (95% nitrogen and 5% hydrogen) as accurately as with helium, with a smallest detectable leak rate of 1 " 10-7 mbar"l/s for both test gases.
The XL3000flex provides the best flexibility to choose the test gas which is easiest to obtain according to lower cost. In addition, the XL3000flex uses the INFICON High Flow Technology: the device operates with a gas flow of 3000 sccm - the highest gas flow available on the market today. This allows the sniffer tip to be moved over the test piece at some distance and at a higher speed, so even the most inexperienced operators can achieve reliable results with the XL3000flex.
An additional advantage of the high gas flow is that it is the only way to enable reliable robotic sniffer leak testing.
Manual or automated leak testing for Sub-assembly and midproduction of:
Minimum detectable leak rate | mbar•L/s | 2E-7 (low flow) 2E-6 (high flow) |
Gas flow | sccm | 300 (low flow) 3000 (high flow) |
Measurable gases | Helium, H2 | |
Response time | <1 s |
