Tracer Gas Leak Detection for Professional Pipe Break Location
Tracer gas leak detection is one of the most sensitive and reliable methods for locating leaks and pipe breaks. A tracer gas such as forming gas (typically nitrogen with 5 % hydrogen) is injected into the pipe section under test. At the leak, the gas escapes and migrates to the surface, where it can be detected precisely with dedicated gas detectors – even when no visible damage is present.
In this category you will find professional tracer gas detectors and components such as the Aqua M300 KIT 28, Gas Check H2 basic set, Sensistor XRS9012 hydrogen leak detector and matching probes and accessories. These systems are designed for use in municipal water networks and by specialist service providers, supporting network managers and leak detection crews in daily field work.

Advantages of tracer gas leak detection
- High sensitivity for small leaks
Hydrogen-containing tracer gas is highly diffusive and can escape even through very small leaks. Gas detectors pick up these low concentrations reliably, enabling the detection of leaks that may be hard to find with purely acoustic methods.
- Reliable results under poor acoustic conditions
In soils with poor sound transmission or in noisy environments, acoustic leak detection can reach its limits. Tracer gas technology complements or replaces geophone-based methods and allows safe leak location even under difficult conditions.
- Flexible use on water pipes
Tracer gas systems can be used on service lines as well as on distribution and trunk mains. With suitable injection tools and diffusers, tracer gas can be introduced efficiently into water-filled pipes.
- Ergonomic, field-proven instruments
Portable gas detectors with hand probes, bell probes and robust carrying cases are optimised for on-site use. Clear displays, acoustic alarms and dedicated accessories make leak detection straightforward and efficient.
Typical applications
- Leak detection on drinking water service lines
- Locating leaks on distribution and trunk mains
- Complementing or verifying acoustic leak detection
- Detecting very small leaks in the case of unexplained pressure losses
