Centrac Strix Wide Measurement Range Hydrogen Leak Detector

Centrac Strix is a high-sensitivity leak detector that uses diluted hydrogen gas (95% nitrogen, 5% hydrogen) as a tracer gas. Since hydrogen is present in the air at only 0.5 ppm, it is less affected by atmospheric conditions, enabling accurate leak detection. Furthermore, it is lower in cost compared to helium gas and offers stable supply, providing an economical and highly practical solution. Since the sensor does not falsely react to gases other than hydrogen, it eliminates the influence of other gases in the measurement environment. From portable models to models compatible with automated systems, it meets a wide range of inspection needs.
■ Features
Uses diluted hydrogen gas:
Hydrogen gas is present in the air at only 0.5 ppm and is less affected by atmospheric conditions.
Since it uses a non-flammable mixed gas (95% nitrogen, 5% hydrogen), it offers high safety.
Lower cost compared to helium gas, and stable supply is possible.
High-sensitivity sensor:
Since it does not falsely react to gases other than hydrogen, highly accurate inspection is possible.
The sensor at the probe tip reacts quickly to hydrogen and recovers rapidly even immediately after detecting a large leak.
Operability:
With the organic EL display mounted on the hand probe, leakage amount and inspection information can be checked at hand.
The portable model does not require a power supply and is suitable for on-site use.
Versatile applications:
Compatible with various industries such as automotive, aerospace, refrigeration and air conditioning, and pipe manufacturing.
Compatible not only with manual operations but also with leak detection in automated systems.
