Description

The SF6 Hose Connection Kit from Cambridge Sensotec is a professional set of adapters for connecting gas analyzers to SF6-insulated equipment from various global manufacturers. The kit is housed in an impact-resistant, waterproof Pelican case (IP65) with foam inserts for reliable storage and transport to site.

All components are made from high-quality materials by original OEM manufacturers, including DILO — a world leader in SF6 technology. The kit includes a two-stage stainless steel pressure regulator, allowing gas samples to be taken directly from SF6 cylinders.

Which Equipment It Fits

Compatible SF6 equipment manufacturers

The kit contains adapters for gas compartments and switchgear from the following manufacturers:

  • Siemens — high-voltage circuit breakers and GIS
  • ABB — SF6 switching equipment
  • Hitachi — SF6 circuit breakers
  • Schneider Electric — gas-insulated cells
  • GE (General Electric) — high-voltage equipment
  • Mitsubishi — circuit breakers and switchgear

Types of connections included

The full kit configuration includes:

No. Connection Purpose
1 RECTUS 21 (male) → ¼″ JIC (female) American standard, small
2 RECTUS 21 (male) → 3/8″ JIC (female) American standard, medium
3 RECTUS 21 (male) → ½″ JIC (female) American standard, large
4 RECTUS 21 (male) → 1/4″ NPT (male) NPT pipe thread — 4 pcs.

7 RECTUS 21 (male) → DN6 (female) European DN6
8 RECTUS 21 (male) → DN7 (female) European DN7
9 RECTUS 21 (male) → DN12 (female) European DN12
10 SF6 regulator + RECTUS 21 For BS 431 No. 3/No. 6 cylinders

RECTUS Series 21 Couplings

RECTUS Series 21 couplings are the worldwide industry standard for connecting sampling hoses to SF6 gas analyzers, including the entire Rapidox SF6 instrument range.

Key properties of RECTUS 21

  • Self-sealing couplings — minimize SF6 leakage when connecting and disconnecting
  • Secure locking — the connection cannot come apart accidentally
  • Durability — rated for thousands of connection cycles
  • Gas-tightness — meets the requirements for working with SF6

  • Protection from dust and water (IP65 rating)
  • Shock absorption for impacts and drops
  • Organized storage — each component in its place
  • Convenient carrying to site

Practical Application

Substation usage scenarios

Scheduled maintenance of SF6 breakers:

  1. Arrive on site with the kit case and a Rapidox gas analyzer
  2. Select the appropriate adapter for the equipment type (Siemens DN8, ABB DN20, etc.)
  3. Connect the analyzer's sampling hose to the gas compartment
  4. Perform the SF6 quality analysis (moisture, purity, decomposition products)

Sampling from an SF6 cylinder:

  1. Connect the kit's regulator to the SF6 cylinder
  2. Connect the gas analyzer via the RECTUS 21 fitting
  3. Check the quality of the fresh gas before filling the equipment

Compatibility with Rapidox gas analyzers

The kit is fully compatible with the entire Rapidox range:

  • Rapidox SF6 6100 — portable analyzer
  • Rapidox SF6 6100 Pumpback — with gas return function
  • Rapidox SF6 6100 Bench — bench-top analyzer

Order Scope of Delivery

Standard scope of delivery
