AccuTrak VPE-GN (Gooseneck) Ultrasonic Leak Detector

VPE-GN (Gooseneck) Ultrasonic Leak Detector by Superior AccuTrak

The Patented Superior AccuTrak® VPE-GN “Gooseneck” represents state-of-the-art technology for pinpointing leaks in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. The new 9˝” flexible Gooseneck provides better detection in hard-to-reach places, and is great for automotive applications too. AccuTrak® is extremely sensitive to the ultrasonic sound of a turbulent gas leak. Using the latest "heterodyning" technology it translates the sound to a lower frequency which your ear can interpret. The VPE-GN maintains the original sound characteristics making it possible to distinguish leaks from other competing background sounds. AccuTrak® is so sensitive you can actually hear the blink of an eye, yet most background noise will not interfere with detection accuracy. Like all Superior AccuTrak® instruments, the VPE-GN easily detects leaks of ANY gas or refrigerant, compressed air, and even vacuum leaks.

VPE-GN - Standard Kit

Superior AccuTrak® advanced patented technology has never been so versatile! The AccuTrak® VPE-GN Standard Kit offers all the functionality and features of the VPE Basic Kit – but with the sensor on the end of a 9-1/2” long flexible GooseNeck to get into all those hard-to-reach places. The VPE-GN Standard Kit is great for technicians in the Automotive industry, or any others who need to find tough leaks or other airborne ultrasound in tight spaces, behind obstructions, or inside an assembly. As with all AccuTrak® instruments, the VPE-GN finds leaks for any kind of gas or refrigerant without changing tips or components. Works equally well to find compressed air leaks, nitrogen leaks – even vacuum leaks! AccuTrak® can find leaks as small as the equivalent of 1.5 oz per year of refrigerant, or can hear a 5 psi leak up to 30 feet away.

Advantages Versus Sniffers

• AccuTrak® VPE is a much more accurate and reliable instrument for detecting single and multiple leaks.
• AccuTrak® VPE can detect any type of refrigerant gas including nitrogen.
• AccuTrak® VPE detects both vacuum and pressure leaks.
• AccuTrak® VPE is effective in gas saturated areas and under windy conditions.
• AccuTrak® VPE does not require the introduction of tracer gases into the system, which can be ozone depleting when vented, and can also be harmful to ones health.
• AccuTrak® VPE is battery powered for cordless operation

Advantages versus other Ultrasonic Leak Detectors
