Ateq Hx-490S (dual gas)

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

The  Hx-490S leak detector is equipped with an industrial-grade mass spectrometer. With a touch of a button, this dual gas unit can detect either Helium or Hydrogen tracer gases, while using a single built-in dual purpose calibrated gas leak.

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

  • easy switching of tracer gas used for testing:
