Leak detector

The Restek® electronic leak detector detects a broad range of gases (only non-explosive).
- Detectable Gases: Helium, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, hydrogen
- Battery: Rechargeable lithium ion internal battery pack (12 hours normal operation)
- Temperature Range: 32–120 °F (0–48 °C)
- Humidity Range: –97%
- Gas Limits / LED Color in [atm cc/sec]: Helium, 1.0 x 10-5 RED / Hydrogen, 1.0 x 10-5, RED / Nitrogen, 1.4 x 10-3 YELLOW / Argon, 1.0 x 10-4 YELLOW / Carbon dioxide, 1.0 x 10-4 YELLOW.
CH4 from sediment headspace samples is analysed with an Agilent 7890A GC System (after Pape et al., 2010) coupled with a CMC HG-200 hydrogen generator.
