Leak Detector Provides Helium and Hydrogen Detection

July 1, 2013
Detector features a high helium pumping speed, which helps facilitate a quick response time.

Pfeiffer Vacuum’s ASM 340 is a compact leak detector that can be used in both serial production and maintenance tasks. It is available in a conventional or an oil-free version.

Both qualitative localization of leaks and quantitative integral or local inspection are possible with the new ASM 340 leak detector. The leak detector features a high helium pumping speed, which helps facilitate a quick response time. These features lead to a short cycle time and high throughput. The ASM 340 is capable of locating leaks starting at 100 hPa.

It also includes a removable manual control element and the optional sniffer probe with LEDs.  Measured data can be recorded and evaluated using an SD card.  The wireless remote control enables operation from a distance of up to 100 meters.

With its extensive accessories, the ASM 340 can be adapted to specific applications. A special transport cart also enables mobile use of the device.  Existing accessories for leak detectors in the ASM and HLT series are also compatible with the new device.
