Gas leaks in laboratories do much more than just cost money – they can lead to contamination by introducing atmosphere, or impacting gas purity or moisture levels.

Even a minuscule leak can cause massive issues. For instance, a gas may be 99.999% pure but a leak can decrease that purity number exponentially, affecting any related work.

Is your purifier loading up? Or, are you seeing unexpected peaks or baseline noise in your instrument readings? Are you using more gas than estimated? Are you seeing elevated moisture or oxygen levels? These could be indicators of a leak.

S.J. Smith has staff that is trained on leak detection technology. We will scan your piping and equipment with acoustic imaging equip­ment to quickly show you the gas leaks in your facility.

We can also calculate the gas you’re losing, and help you make decisions to maintain efficiency in your operation. In addition, we can recommend solutions to get your lab up and running quickly.
