This is a fantastic tool . Air leaks are no challenge . I found too many to mention in a very short time. But better yet i learned i can find mechanical issues like worn bearings in motors. i first temporarily stop airflow from the cooling fan if it has one. Then i just adjust span and frequency to get a clear image. almost as easy isolating temps in Thermography
This detector does not identify or recognize which types of gases are leaking - it is only able to detect air, gas and vacuum leaks in compressed air systems. That said, if methane is leaking from a compressed air system, then this tool will be able to detect it.

That's a great way to get the most out of this unit. Glad to hear that it's working well for your needs!
Is it worth the high price tag? vs conventional although slower methods of finding air leaks?
I may have missed this in the presentation, but can this be used to find methane leaks as well?

It's more dependent on the flow loss or how much sound disturbance any leak creates. Not really the material that is escaping into the atmosphere
I thought it was pretty cool until I noticed they want $20,000 for it.
Hehehe
