Description
The model GIR-10 gas detector is used to detect even the smallest concentrations of SF6 gas, making it ideally suited for locating leakage and determining the size of it.
Special features
- Even the smallest concentrations of down to 0.6 ppmv can be detected
- Responds only to SF 6 gas and is therefore insensitive to moisture and the usual volatile organic compounds (VOC)
- Easy operation
- Fast response time
- Calibration ex-works using certified test gases
