Helium Gas Compressor System

Helium leak detection - Haskel helium pumps are used for high-pressure leak testing of underwater Christmas trees and other installations to ensure hydrocarbons do not leak from the structure and risk contaminating the sea or creating an explosion. Helium gas is used at pressures up to 2,000 bar (30,000 psi) because of its leak-searching capabilities, particularly in detecting porous castings. Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) can also be used in leak detection gas.

Leak detection testing is critical to prevent material loss by leakage, avoid contamination of a product or of the environment, maximizing system performance and reliability, and minimizing product liability if leakage presents a hazard.

Gas Transfer and Pressurization - This can include various applications such as gas accumulator charging, pressure and leak testing of various pressure containing components, pressurization of gas cylinders, or general gas transfer, boosting, or mixing.

Performance curves are shown based on a 100 psi air-drive supply; higher air-drive pressure will result in higher flow capacity, just as lower air-drive pressures will result in lower flow capacity. Metric flow capacity curves are available upon request. ATEX Certified versions available upon request.

Haskel offers three standard models, each differing in performance and maximum pressure capabilities.
