* Test leaks are only suitable for specific gases. If you want
to have a test leak with a gas that is not on the list please con­tact us. We will tell you if the test leak with the gas you reqest
can be build.

For additional information please see the safety data sheet of
the calibration gas and the quality test certificate that was
added to the test leak.

Description

Manometer

Leak rate of the calibrated test leak.
(Example: Gas R152a, leak rate 2,64 g/a )

Calibration gas outlet

Date of calibration

Flammable gases! The gases R152a, R290, R50 2, R600a and HFO-1234 yf
may form explosive gas mixtures.
Care for sufficient ventilation and keep away from ignition source.

Preconditions

Ambient temperature +15°C to +35°C
Displayed pressure range 0.5 bar to 8 bar

Notice: p < 0.5 bar: Test leak no longer ready for operation.

p > 8 bar: Test leak too hot.

Operation 9

Sniffing

Keep probe in contact with the gas outl et until the measured
value is stable.

3 Maintenance

The calibrated test leak requires no maintenance.
When the calibration gas is used up (pressure < 0.5 bar) the

test leak has to be refilled and calibrated. Please contact your
nearest INFICON Service Center.

Notice: If the pressure is < 0.5 bar a proper calibratio n of the leak

detector is not assured. Therefore an accurate
measurement of the test sample is not guaranteed.

3.1 Cleaning the outside

For cleaning the outside of the test leak, a slightly humid cloth
should normally do.
Do not use under any circumstances any aggressive or scou­ring cleaning agents.

10 Maintenance

3.2 Repair

Defective products must not be opened.
Please contact your nearest INFICON-Service Center.

3.3 Returning the Product

Calibration gas
Test leaks sent for repair may still contain calibration gas.
Take account of the national regulations for shipping the respective calibra-

tion gas.

3.4 Decommissioning

Substances detrimental to the environment
Products, operating material, fluids, consumables etc. may have to be spe-

cially decommissioned.
For professional decommissioning of the product, please contact your nea-

rest INFICON-Service Center.
