VARIOTEC ® 460 Tracergas Rely on precision and safety The VARIOTEC ® 460 Tracergas was developed especially for leak detection on underground pipes by using tracer gas. It is characterised by an outstanding price to performance ratio. Precise: The extraordinarily low cross sensitivity of the gas-sensitive semiconductor (SC) with regard to moisture and methane ensures an absolutely sure result and a resolution down to 0.1 ppm H2. Functional: Thanks to an innovative operating concept, a large display and simple menu structure, device operators can quickly get reliable results. Efficient: In combination...

VARIOTEC 460 Tracergas - The specialist for leak detection with tracergas and hydrogen-3

Inspection above ground With the VARIOTEC ® 460 Tracergas and a bell or carpet probe you can measure the smallest concentrations of gas above a gas pipe laid in the ground, so you can reliably determine the discharge location above a leak on gas or water pipe lines. Detect the smallest traces of gas in buildings and pinpoint the source of the gas, e.g. for leaks in internal, covered pipe systems. In combination with a localisation probe you can measure the gas concentration in the ground. In this way, you can exactly pinpoint the suspected leak site. Ensure that the lines are either completely...
