Ultrasonic leak detector ?

Aloha cosmic,
I use one to find hard to locate air leaks on truck air brake systems mostly in the cab area. I know that it has to be in an enclosed area so that you won't pickup ambient or surrounding noises. But it still not 100% in finding an air leak, I still use a soapy pray solution or leak detector spray when I can't hear or pinpoint where the leak is coming from. For me if I had the chance again about purchasing my unltrasonic leak detector I probably would spend my money elsewhere. BTW I have the AccuTrak VPE ultrasonic leak detector kit w/ contact probe at the time of purchase I believe it was around $450

I’ve seen every type of leak detection products used from Windex to shaving cream.
The CRC Aerosol Leak Detector may be pricey by comparison to other spray on products but it is a product designed to, as it’s name implies.

Not sure of the cost but there is also a Hydrogen detector on the market. I know, I know, Hydrogen is very explosive/flammable, but most of the welding supply houses carry what is termed as 95/5 Nitrogen/Hydrogen (certified) mix which is NOT enough to be of any danger (if I recall the mix must be in the 15-20% range to be flammable?).
The sniffer will detect minute traces of the Hydrogen and locate your leak. We use them all the time for refrigeration leaks.

I used an ultrasonic leak detector on the transit buses when I was a diesel mechanic. It werqed great at getting me close, within a few inches of the air leak, but then I usually had to resort to spraying it with soap to find the exact location.

A small piece of paper or a candle are pretty cheap. How much air you losing what type of rifle.
