  2. Tracer-gas leak testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracer-gas_leak_testing

    A tracer-gas leak testing method is a nondestructive testing method that detects gas leaks.A variety of methods with different sensitivities exist. Tracer-gas leak testing is used in the petrochemical industry, the automotive industry, the construction industry [1] and in the manufacture of semiconductors, among other uses.

  3. Leak detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak_detection

    The primary purpose of leak detection systems (LDS) is to help pipeline controllers to detect and localize leaks. LDS provide alarms and display other related data to the pipeline controllers to assist decision-making. Pipeline leak detection systems can also enhance productivity and system reliability thanks to reduced downtime and inspection ...

  4. Photoionization detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoionization_detector

    The photoionization detector is an efficient and inexpensive detector for many gas and vapor analytes. PIDs produce instantaneous readings, operate continuously, and are commonly used as detectors for gas chromatography or as hand-held portable instruments. Hand-held, battery-operated versions are widely used in military, industrial, and ...

  5. Gas detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_detector

    A gas detector can sound an alarm to operators in the area where the leak is occurring, giving them the opportunity to leave. This type of device is important because there are many gases that can be harmful to organic life, such as humans or animals. Gas detectors can be used to detect combustible, flammable and toxic gases, and oxygen depletion.

  6. Explosive vapor detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive_vapor_detector

    Explosive vapor detectors (EVD) are explosives detection instruments whose principle of operation is the selective analysis of collected vapor samples from the air, in contrast to explosives trace detectors (ETD) which require the physical collection of particulate samples from surfaces.

  7. Analysing Interferometer for Ambient Air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysing_Interferometer...

    The total power consumption is approx. 80W. It features WiFi Connection and a Touch Screen for a more versatile use. Compared to ANITA-1 it has a significantly increased (~factor 4) Signal to Noise Ratio allowing lower detection limits. ANITA-2 is calibrated to detect 37 gases, mostly with a detection limit well below 1ppm.

  8. Flame ionization detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_ionization_detector

    A flame ionization detector (FID) is a scientific instrument that measures analytes in a gas stream. It is frequently used as a detector in gas chromatography . The measurement of ions per unit time makes this a mass sensitive instrument. [ 1 ]

  9. Thermal conductivity detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity_detector

    The thermal conductivity detector (TCD), also known as a katharometer, is a bulk property detector and a chemical specific detector commonly used in gas chromatography. [1] This detector senses changes in the thermal conductivity of the column eluent and compares it to a reference flow of carrier gas. Since most compounds have a thermal ...
