The VPACTMII is an acoustic emission instrument based on over 10 years of research. The VPACTMII can estimate the quantity of material leaking through the valve using the accompanying proprietary software. With hundreds of systems currently in use, the VPACTMII is the instrument of choice for through valve leak detection.
The user interface is simple and intuitive, and the unit retains all settings even when powered down. The instrument is powered by four rechargeable AA batteries which will last several weeks in typical use. Battery replacement and charging is quick and easy, so downtime is minimized.
The VPACTMII unit contains all the features you need to determine if valves are leaking, where they're leaking, and at what rate they're leaking.
Features of the VPACTMII include:
- Stores a reading, as well as upstream and downstream readings, for up to 500 valves at a time
- Loads a complete testing route with valve names & physical properties from VPACwinTM
- Calculates Leak rates directly on the unit
- Transfers all stored data to notebook or desktop PC with VPACwinTM software via a simple, wireless Bluetooth interface
When used on gas systems, the VPACTMII system is capable of detecting leaks as small as 1-liter per minute. This is because the sensor is virtually on top of the leak source and attenuation of the signal is not a factor. Counting for standard pressure and temperature (14.696 psia and 60° F), this corresponds to 2.12 SCF per hour.
