Introduction Hi Flow Sampler
Instruction 0055-9017

the range of 0.05 to 100% gas by volume. A second identical
combustibles sensor channel measures the background CH
4
level within
the vicinity of the leaking component. The final element in the sampling
system is a blower that exhausts the gas sample back into the
atmosphere away from the sampling area.
The measured flow rate and the measured CH
4
levels (both leak and
background levels) are used to calculate the leak rate of the component
being tested, with all measured and calculated values being displayed on
the hand-held control unit.
