VIC MD-490S Helium Leak Detector

VIC MD 490S Portable Dry Helium Leak DetectorThe Vic MD-490S Portable Dry Helium Leak Detector detects leaks for a broad range of applications.  It has helium background suppression, .0.5 second response time, and a maintenance-free dry pump.  This is a portable dry helium leak detector with the most sensitive sniffer available.  A touch-screen graphic user interface (GUI) which allows for greater system control and monitoring during system start up and operation.   The Vic MD-490S Series displays included system status, accept/reject status, system health, setup, calibration and other diagnostics.  Auto-tuning, auto-calibration and auto-zeroing features.   It’s lowest detectable leak rate for helium is 5 x 10-8 mbar l/s.

The Vic MD-490S Portable Dry has an entirely oil-free built in diaphragm fore-pump and 70 liter/second air cooled molecular drag pump.

Vic MD-490S Portable Dry detectors are available to buy or rent.
