Leak-Detecting Dye for Water Systems
Easy-to-see colors enable you to visually inspect for leaks without ultraviolet light.
One gallon of water occupies 0.1337 cubic ft. Calculate the number of gallons a tank holds by dividing the tank volume by 0.1337.
Fluorescent dye can be enhanced with a UV flashlight.
Tablets are easy to use for small volumes of water, such as toilets and septic systems. They dissolve in five minutes. Tablets that come in a packet include instructions for detecting a toilet leak.
Liquid is a good choice for larger volumes of water, such as sewers. It disperses faster than tablets and powder.
Powder is the best choice for the largest volumes of water, such as ponds, piping systems in power plants, and cooling towers.

Leak-Detecting Dye for Hydraulic Systems
Easy-to-see colors enable you to visually inspect for leaks without ultraviolet light.
Use 1 fl. oz. of dye for every 50 gallons of oil, solvent, wax, or other industrial fluid you're inspecting.
Fluorescent red dye can be enhanced with a UV flashlight.
Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detectors
This detector converts ultrasonic waves to an audible sound so you can find leaks. Unlike typical leak detectors, this unit doesn’t rely only on the presence of a gas to work, making it suitable for a wider range of applications. In addition to gas leaks, it identifies ultrasonic sound caused by failing solenoids, valves, and bearings.
For systems under 10 psi, use the optional ultrasonic sound generator.
Import regulations restrict sales to the listed areas.
Gas Leak Detectors for Hard-to-Reach Areas
Identify a variety of small leaks quickly and access hard-to-reach areas with the flexible probe. An audible signal increases in intensity the closer you get to the leak. Intrinsically safe for Class I, Divisions I and 2, Groups A, B, C, and D hazardous locations.

Digital Radiation Detectors
Detects lower levels of radiation than our standard detector. Measurements are displayed on an easy-to-read LCD. The unit has a protective rubber casing. A flashing red light with audio beep indicates the presence of alpha, beta, gamma, and X-ray radiation.
Use this detector alone to measure radiation in the air, or use it with the optional wipe test plate and sample collection wipes (sold separately) to measure radiation on surfaces. For surface testing, use a wipe on a wet or dry surface, place the wipe in the wipe test plate, and slide the plate onto the detector.

Surface-Mount Multi-Gas Detectors
An audible alarm and warning light alert you to the presence of propane, methane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide. This detector has a relay for connection to auxiliary alarm systems. A programmable timer allows you to set whether the relay alarm is triggered immediately, or after 4 or 8 minutes of continuous gas exposure. The reset button suspends the alarm and restarts the cycle for 5 to 8 minutes in case of false alarm.

Early-Warning Surface-Mount Hydrogen Detectors
This detector triggers a “caution” alert when a small amount of hydrogen is detected and a second “danger” alert if levels continue to rise. When hydrogen concentration reaches 1% by volume, a yellow warning light illuminates and the first relay closes to trigger a remote exhaust fan and/or alarm. When hydrogen reaches 2%, a red warning light illuminates, an alarm sounds, and the second relay closes to activate another remote exhaust fan and/or alarm.
Use the optional remote and cable to keep an eye on the detector’s alert status from a distance. Remote has a buzzer and the same yellow and red warning lights as the detector.

Wi-Fi Enabled Water Overflow and Freeze Detectors
Keep an eye on leaks, overflow, and temperature changes near your equipment, even when you’re offsite. These detectors connect to your Wi-Fi to send alerts about moisture, temperature, and humidity to your smartphone or tablet. Place them near tanks and tubs to watch for overflow, or near sump pumps and pipe lines to monitor temperatures and prevent frozen pipes. When water touches one of the sensors on the detector, a buzzer also goes off, alerting anyone nearby. Rated IP44, these detectors are protected from objects larger than 1mm, such as wires, and from water splashing in any direction.
Download an app onto your smart device to program temperature and humidity ranges and set up alerts. You can also create reports that show changes in temperature and humidity over time.
To extend the area they monitor, these detectors come with a detachable cable sensor that senses moisture along its entire surface. Swap in replacement cable sensors for worn sensors, or link several together to wrap around large equipment or trace the path of a pipe. Extend them up to 500 feet from detectors.
