SKY2000 Handheld H2 Leak Detector with Built-in Pump
Professional-grade hydrogen leak detection instrument featuring selectable measurement ranges and advanced electrochemical sensing technology.
Product Overview
The SKY2000 is a portable gas detector combining a built-in sampling pump with advanced electrochemical sensor technology for rapid, reliable hydrogen measurement. Its compact, lightweight housing is made from high-strength engineering plastic, making it easy to carry and suitable for a wide range of industrial settings.
This hydrogen-specific version detects H₂ with selectable full-scale ranges of 1000ppm, 2000ppm, or 5000ppm at 1ppm resolution. Response time is ≤20 seconds, with repeatability ≤±1% and zero shift ≤±1% F.S./year. The detector features an LCD dot matrix display with backlight, switchable gas units, and triple alarm modes (sound, light, vibration). Optional data logging stores up to 100,000 readings for export via USB. Certified Ex ia IIC T4 Ga and rated IP66, the SKY2000 performs reliably in harsh conditions.
Why Hydrogen Detection Matters
| Hazard |
Risk |
Typical Sources |
| Hydrogen (H₂) |
Highly flammable (4–75% volume in air), explosive; colorless, odorless |
Chemical plants, refineries, battery charging rooms, electrolyzers, fuel cells, laboratories, hydrogen storage and transport |
Hydrogen leaks pose a significant fire and explosion risk, especially in confined spaces. Its low ignition energy and wide explosive range make early detection critical. The SKY2000 provides real-time H₂ concentration monitoring, enabling timely intervention before dangerous levels accumulate.
