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.
