Hydrogen Tracer Gas Leak Detector

The HUNTER Tracer Gas Leak Detector is a professional hydrogen leak detection instrument designed to locate water, gas, and underground pipeline leaks using forming gas (5% hydrogen / 95% nitrogen). When traditional acoustic leak detection methods are ineffective, the HUNTER Tracer Gas quickly identifies even the smallest leaks with exceptional sensitivity, making it ideal for water utilities, municipalities, contractors, and pipeline service professionals.

Featuring a high-sensitivity hydrogen sensor with 0.1 ppm resolution, an integrated high-flow sampling pump, and a secondary pinpointing sensor for probe holes, the HUNTER Tracer Gas delivers fast, reliable leak detection in noisy environments and on non-metallic pipelines. Integrated data storage, wireless reporting with Esders Connect, and a large touchscreen display simplify field inspections and documentation.
