NITROGEN- HELIUM LEAK TEST

The elimination of hydrocarbon leakage is an operational priority, and the loss of containment will lead to environmental impact, financial loss, and hazardous situations. Throughout the world, the nitrogen-helium leak test is issued in the commissioning and during the start-up of onshore and offshore process plants. Helium leak detection will give the most accurate and quantifiable method. It is the industry standard for ensuring a leak free start-up. Helium is the smallest available gas molecule and like nitrogen it is an inert gas. Injected as 1% trace into the nitrogen during the pressurization of a process system, every flange and join can be tested using a mass spectrometer and every leak can be precisely identified and quantified. Global nitrogen pumps are rated at 90000 scf/ hr and 180000scf/h and capable of working to 10000psi. The helium detection equipment that is used by global include the latest mass spectrometer technology, offering accuracy and reliability.
