Not just a fluke Fluke’s new Ti450 SF6 gas leak detector combines a high-quality infrared camera with an SF6 leak detector that visually pinpoints the location of SF6 leaks without shutting equipment down. The Ti450 SF6 allows utility crews to include it as a normal part of their maintenance routine, allowing them to conduct both infrared and gas inspections whenever and wherever necessary. It eliminates the need to wait for special annual or biannual leak inspections, including the corresponding expensive equipment rentals or contractors. The gas leak detector makes maintenance work easier, reducing potential equipment damage. With the Ti450 SF6, technicians can monitor leaks more frequently, allowing maintenance to be scheduled at a convenient time without unplanned downtime. The leak detector can also be used to quickly verify that the repair was fixed. For more information, contact +27 (0) 10 595 1821.
