Tracer Gas Detection
Safe tracer gases locate even the smallest leaks in hard-to-access areas like under-slab heating and complex piping.
Technology Overview
Tracer gas detection uses safe, non-toxic gas mixtures to locate leaks in systems that are difficult or impossible to access by other means. A tracer gas (typically hydrogen/nitrogen mix) is introduced into the system under pressure. The gas, being much lighter than air and having extremely small molecular size, escapes through even microscopic leaks and migrates to the surface where it can be detected with ultra-sensitive electronic sensors. This technique is invaluable for radiant heating systems, underground pools, and complex piping networks.
