Tips n' Tricks

Setting the right Tracer Gas

Tek-Mate Leak Detector

There are a considerable number of tracer gases to choose from when performing leak testing with a test (tracer) gas. The tracer gas is used either in a pure form or is mixed with other gases. The basic requirements for a tracer gas include:

  • Non-toxic, non-flammable and inert
  • Low concentration in the atmosphere, not emitted by any technical processes (for a small detection limit)
  • Compliance with various environmental regulations

Below is a profile of the most commonly used tracer gases. Although JAVAC offers leak detectors for all of these gases, helium remains the best solution for most applications; it is the only tracer gas that meets all requirements.

Requirements Forming gas - (H2) in (N2)* Helium (He) Argon (Ar) Refrigerants
Nontoxic F F F F
Nonflammable F F F F**
Inert F F F F
Low atmosphere F F F F
No tracer gas emissions from technical processes -- F F (F)
Low detection limit (F) F -- (F)
Environmentally compatible F F F --

F = fulfilled
(F) = more or less fulfilled
-- = not fulfilled

*Hydrogen itself is flammable. Hence, it is normally used in a mixture with nitrogen (N2). This forming gas has a concentration of only 5 % to 10 % hydrogen, which reduces the sensitivity by a factor 10 to 20!

**Some refrigerants are flammable.

Liquid Pump Technology

KNF Flodos STEPDOS Dosing Pump

STEPDOS Dosing Pump

This microprocessor controlled diaphragm metering pump is designed for use with neutral and aggressive liquids. The STEPDOS pump produces continous and precise flow (+/-2%) even at low rpm which is achieved by means of a stepper motor. This ensures the suction part of the cycle is controlled on a variable basis according to the selected speed. Constant adaption of the motor speed results in a steady output over the entire cycle.

The STEPDOS is enclosed in a compact protective housing (IP65). It is self priming, maintenace free, can be run dry and has a long lifetime.

Due to a large range of material options available, custom solutions can be offered for every application. For more information on this product please contact 1300 786 771 or click the link above.

Graham Lloyd: Servicing Your Equipment For Over 20 Years

Employee Focus

Graham Lloyd, recently presented with a Service award for 20 years of loyal service to JAVAC, is our Senior Service Engineer for high vacuum and Leybold products.

Graham’s experience means he is called upon for technical advice, vacuum technology training and is heavily involved in custom design. A fountain of knowledge, Graham is a highly respected member of the JAVAC family, both willing and able to offer support and technical advice wherever possible to both his customers and coworkers.

Graham’s experience goes back to 1974, when he specialised in mass spectrometer residual gas analysis and leak detection of vacuums. Graham received regular training on vacuum technology and specific semi conductor equipment during his 13 year career with Texas Instruments in the U.K. He also trained at Balzers High Vacuum in Leichtenstein, CTI Cryogenics in the U.K. and Leybold Heraeus in the U.K. In the late 1980’s Graham migrated to Australia to work for the Leybold agency JAVAC Pty. Ltd., initially assisting with projects such as space simulation chamber and several coating plants.

Graham is our service engineer for KNF products and holds a current certificate of competence for service to Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum products, now focusing on coordinating and executing onsite services and repair for custom built applications, high vacuum and Leybold products. JAVAC not only offer onsite servicing, we also repair the full suite of vacuum technology products and offer regular maintenance servicing.
