VIC to Distribute Hydrogen Leak Detector

Ronkonkoma, NY, June 1, 2009 — VIC Leak Detection, a world-leading manufacturer in the leak detection industry, today announced its plan to distribute a new series of Hydrogen gas leak detectors.

"The portable battery-operated Hydrogen sniffer leak detector is an excellent complement to our leak detection product line," said Chuck Wilkinson, Corp. Director of Marketing. "Its unique capabilities rounds-out our product offerings and ensures one-stop shopping for all our customer's leak detection equipment requirements."

For those companies looking for a test method that is not operator-dependent, V.I.C. offers a cumulative leak detection system based on the Hydrogen sensor instrumentation.

This technique features the following benefits:

• Uses a safe 5% hydrogen gas mixture
• Product/Fixture outgassing is not a concern
• Can test wet parts/not affected by humidity
• Leaking pneumatic components will not affect test
• Ideally suited for “lean cell” manufacturing
• Tests the cumulative leak rate at a lower cost than Helium hard vac
• Minimal maintenance required:
  • No chamber evacuation vacuum pumps
  • No evacuation valves and manifolding
  • Chamber/valves operate at no pressure differential
  • Minimal system leak integrity issues
  • No pump oils to change
  • No vacuum cleanliness requirements
• Lower operating cost/utility consumption
• Quiet, test is done at atm without the need for large vacuum pumps
