Portable Leak Finder is a troubleshooting tool to find small leaks in chambers, connections or parts.

Is a rechargeable container for helium gas with a spray nozzle similar to an aerosol can. Helium is sprayed onto the suspected leak location of a part or chamber and can then be observed on a mass spectrometer system that continuously measures the helium concentration in the part while under vacuum. A leak is immediately identified if helium is drawn into the part or chamber by the vacuum inside. The mass spectrometer responds to concentration change caused by new helium being drawn into the part or chamber. The timing of the response corresponds with the location of the helium being sprayed at the time of the response to accurately indicate the leak location.

Kit includes a recharge fitting and comes in a protective, custom-made carrying case. Valves, pressure gage and pressure relief valve allow safe recharging of the canister.
