Ateq He-490S (helium)

He-490S is the most advanced Helium sniffing leak detector for precise detection and location of extremely small leaks, adapted for automatic or manual operation in industrial quality control stations and laboratories.

The  He-490S leak detector is equipped with an industrial-grade mass spectrometer, designed to detect Helium leaks.

With a response time less than 0,5 s, sensitivity up to 10-8 atm×cm3/s and the ability to zero-out background, it is the most advanced portable leak detector in the industry, with features designed specifically for demanding industrial applications.

The He-490S leak detector can be fully integrated with our Smart Charge 5 evacuation and backfill station.
