Gas Bottle Valve Leak Detector

Why Gas Bottle Valve Leak Detection is Crucial

Detecting leaks in gas bottles is essential to prevent hazardous situations, ensure compliance with safety regulations, and maintain the purity of gases, especially in medical and food applications. Traditional leak detection methods often involve chemical leak detection fluids (LDFs), which pose several risks:

Material Damage: LDFs can cause corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in valve materials.
Residue Accumulation: Residues from LDFs can contaminate gases, posing significant risks.
Flammability: Some LDFs are flammable, particularly when used with oxygen, creating additional hazards.
