The INFICON UL1000 Fab Helium Leak Detector is the renowned standard for economic helium vacuum leak testing in industrial or semiconductor environments. It uses ULTRATEST Sensor Technology and dry pump technology to eliminate contamination by carbon-hydrogen compounds or particles. It offers state-of-the-art detection limits of 10^-12 mbar·l/s, a compact design for maneuverability, and selectable background suppression (I·ZERO) for continuous leak testing. It is ideal for industrial vacuum equipment manufacturing, vacuum components, maintenance work, and semiconductor manufacturing. The device is designed for quick pump down and response time, enabling efficient leak testing while ensuring high performance and affordability. It also features a rotatable display, optical and audible leak indication, and optional remote control for convenience. The UL1000 Fab provides superior leak testing efficiency in semiconductor applications, with fast, accurate, stable, and repeatable results. Its low total cost of ownership is enabled by a robust two hot filament ion source (3-year warranty) and counterflow vacuum system. The device is mobile, with a low center of gravity and large wheels for easy maneuverability in restricted spaces. It is manufactured in oil-free, cleanroom conditions and is quality tested for optimum performance.

Use Cases

  • Industrial vacuum equipment manufacturing with high demand for cleanliness
  • Vacuum components or sub-assemblies before they are installed in existing tools
  • Maintenance work on vacuum tools, with or without support from their own pump
  • Inspections and installations of process gas systems
  • Semiconductor, flat panel display or solar cell manufacturing
  • Typically used in hydrogen and related industrial applications

Capabilities

  • Minimize leak testing efforts through quick pump down and response time
  • Avoid need for multiple leak tests by using selectable background suppression (I·ZERO)
  • Enable easy access to maintenance areas with restricted space through maneuverable design
  • Low total cost of ownership (TCO) enabled by robust two hot filament ion source (3 years warranty) and counterflow vacuum system
  • Easy to use with rotatable display, optical and audible leak indication, and optional remote control
  • Low maintenance via a built-in test leak with auto calibration procedure
INFICON INFICON, a global supplier of leak detection and gas analysis solutions with decades of expertise identifying hydrogen gas at the lowest concentrations, provides advanced leak detection technology enabling both quality assurance of hydrogen production systems and components as well as real-time hydrogen detection of even the smallest leaks, minimizing accident risk and ensuring production system integrity. The company's Sensistor Sentrac Hydrogen Leak Detector locates and quantifies a wide range of leaks faster and more accurately than soap spray or helium leak detection methods, serving critical applications across hydrogen electrolyzer stacks (where numerous cells with membranes, electrodes, and seals must be monitored to prevent dangerous leaks), compressed hydrogen storage (regularly inspecting compressor housings, seals, and pistons), and piping/gas manifolds where hydrogen's tiny molecular size can escape through the smallest holes in fittings, joints, and valves. INFICON's Strix hand probe, introduced for automotive applications including engine assemblies, air-conditioning systems, battery cases, brake lines, and fuel systems, is 30% lighter and 12.5% smaller-tipped than previous handheld probes, using complex algorithms to shorten measurement times, improve accuracy, and speed recovery times when connected to the Sentrac Hydrogen Leak Detector with a non-flammable hydrogen-nitrogen tracer gas mixture. As hydrogen production and applications continue expanding globally, INFICON's comprehensive leak detection portfolio -- spanning production, transportation, and storage pathways -- supports the safe deployment of hydrogen infrastructure by identifying potential leak points before they develop into major hazards or resource losses.
