Direct Measurement with Patented Techniques
Trafag’s SF6 gas density units are thoroughly developed for various applications, ensuring reliable monitoring and durable performance.
Using patented technology, the units monitor gas densities and SF6 gas mixtures as well as alternative insulating gases. With the help of these units, quick detection of leaks in critical components, such as circuit breakers, is enabled, allowing immediate action to minimize harmful SF6 emissions.
There are three product categories: SF6 density monitors, SF6 gas density sensors, and hybrid SF6 gas density monitors.
SF6 Density Monitors
The mechanical monitors use a unique gas density reference, eliminating the need for recalibration and making them unaffected by temperature changes. They are resistant to false switching (contact bounce) caused by vibrations or shocks. The operating temperature ranges from -60°C to +80°C, and the monitors are equipped with a local gas pressure display and durable alarm contacts for switch points.
SF6 Gas Density Sensors
The electronic sensors use patented quartz fork technology to measure gas density directly, without needing to calculate from pressure and temperature. The sensors are temperature-stable, maintenance-free, vibration- and shock-resistant, providing excellent long-term stability.
Hybrid SF6 Gas Density Monitors
These monitors combine the benefits of mechanical gas density monitors and electronic gas density sensors, designed in a compact unit. They can manage demanding applications and maintain the highest accuracy over a very wide temperature range. Trend analysis allows for earlier leak detection, provides data for preventive maintenance, and facilitates compliance with greenhouse gas regulations. The monitors are also equipped with a local gas pressure display and durable alarm contacts for switch points.
