Used VARIAN 938-41 Portatest #9169015 for sale

VARIAN 938-41 Portatest is a highly sensitive and portable leak detector designed for leak detection within scientific and industrial settings. This instrument is particularly useful for monitoring pressurized systems, such as compressors and pipelines. It utilizes a mass spectrometer to detect and identify potentially hazardous leaks of any gas, such as ammonia, argon, and propane. The construction of 938-41 Portatest is composed of a base unit containing all the necessary components, along with a wand that allows technicians to detect leaks from a distance. The wand contains a vacuum which draws in gas samples. These samples are then heated and sent through a mass spectrometer, which splits the molecules into components of assorted masses. The masses are then measured, allowing the instrument to identify the type of leak. VARIAN 938-41 Portatest comes equipped with a range of useful features, such as a built-in printer, an LCD display, and a variety of alarms, making it ideal for low-level, continuous monitoring. It also offers an adjustable low-to-high sensitivity range, allowing presses with varying levels of gas concentrations to be monitored. The benefits of 938-41 Portatest include its portability, ability to detect leaks accurately, and its ease of use. Its lightweight design allows technicians to easily move it from one location to another without bogging them down with heavy equipment. The instrument is also capable of measuring gas concentrations as low as 0.001 parts per million (ppm), allowing it to detect leaks with unprecedented accuracy. Additionally, its simple user interface allows technicians to set up and operate the instrument without extensive training. Overall, VARIAN 938-41 Portatest is an invaluable tool for any technician seeking to monitor pressurized systems. Its portability, accuracy, and ease of use make this instrument an excellent choice for leak detection within scientific and industrial settings.
