Measuring devices for leak detection and calculation

Leakages are the reason for the biggest waste of energy in compressed air systems. Several studies show that 30% of the cost of compressed air can be saved by eliminating leakages. Therefore, it is a must to detect and eliminate leakages frequently. Our LD-Series will give you all the function needed to detect leakages and measure the consequences in terms of energy consumption and wasted money.

Typical applications of our measuring instruments in this section are leakage detection in compressed air systems and leak testing of unpressurized systems. 

You can also find more information on how to use our leakage devices and associated software correctly in our "Video Tutorials" section.

Which ultrasonic leak detection device is the right one?

Since 2006, we have been working with our users to develop innovative solutions for ultrasonic leak detection of gases under pressure. Our first device, the LD 300, made ultrasound audible in noisy environments for the first time. Through continuous feedback from the field, we have constantly optimized and further developed our devices.

A comparison of our current leak detection devices:

  • LD 450: Precise leak detection with audible leak signals in the headphones.
  • LD 500: Calculates additional leakages and cost savings and enables leak documentation.
  • LD 500 with UltraCam: Makes leakages not only audible, but also visible - for faster and more accurate localization.
  • LeakCam 600: Detects multiple leaks simultaneously thanks to Power Beam Forming and offers a high-resolution camera as well as a modern, intuitive user interface - for even easier leakage documentation.

Our experts will be happy to help you choose the right device!

Measuring devices for Leak detection and Leak detection - not only in Compressed air

Leakages are the Achilles heel of all compressed air and gas networks. According to various studies, Leak detection and the sealing of Leakages can save an average of around 30% of compressed air costs. Regular inspection and consistent elimination are therefore essential. Under certain conditions, the initial investment in Leakage measuring devices is also subsidized by BAFA (further information can be found in our news section).

Our Leakage measuring devices are typically used, for example, for Leak detection in Compressedair systems or as part of leak testing of unpressurized systems. The principle of the detection devices is based on ultrasonic leak detection. Our LD devices convert the inaudible ultrasonic waves generated by Compressed air leaks into audible sound, making them very easy for the user to locate.
