Agilent Varian Harsh Evironment Application Probe, KF25 for VS, 936, 959, 979, 990 Series Helium Mass Spectrometer Leak Detectors
Agilent Varian PN G8600-68002.
Power generation facilities, chemical plants and similar
facilities require a leak detector to sample gas that is
primarily water vapor (steam) and/or contains chemicals that
would damage the detector. To prevent this damage from
happening, Agilent has developed a specialized probe and
leak detector configuration tailored to the demanding
requirements of these applications.
The VS Harsh Environment (HE) Probe is designed to
withstand the wet environment and high temperatures inside
condenser piping without the need for dryers, chillers, a
secondary vacuum pump, or throttling valves. The probe can
either be held or installed in the exhaust of a pump on the
condenser system, or can be flange-mounted directly into the
piping of the system under test. The probe is connected to
the flange via an adjustable compression fitting so the probe
tip can be positioned in the center of the pipe. This
guarantees the probe tip is in the maximum helium flow for
the best sensitivity.
Equipment damage due to corrosion or water in the leak
detector or roughing pump is eliminated. The Agilent HE
Probe is able to withstand water, amines (ammonia
derivatives), and operate at temperatures up to 95 °C (200 °F).
The probe is connected directly to a VS Leak Detector with no
additional water trapping or auxiliary pumping required.
The probe consists of a 5 meter long corrosion resistant 316L stainless
steel tube with a composite permeable membrane at its tip.
The membrane readily permeates helium tracer gas while
protecting the leak detector from water vapor and chemicals
that would destroy the pumps, valves, and spectrometer.
When the HE Probe is used in conjunction with an Agilent VS
Leak Detector equipped with a wireless remote, the
manpower needed for a leak test can be cut in half. A single
operator can spray helium remotely from the location where
the detector is sampling gas, yet can still monitor the
instrument’s response. Works with all Agilent Varian 936, 959, 979, 990 and VS PR02, VS MR15, VS MD30, VS BR15, VS BD30 Series Leak Detectors. Agilent Varian Part Number G8600-68002.
