Overview
LEAKChecker is an ultrasound detector designed specifically for finding compressed-air and gas leaks. A focused, simple and affordable solution for a specific problem.
Key features
Specialisation
LEAKChecker is built for one job — finding leaks:
- Compressed-air leaks — from compressed-air systems
- Gas leaks — natural gas, nitrogen, argon
- Vacuum leaks — in vacuum systems
Ease of use
- Switch on and start working
- Intuitive interface
- Fast training
- Minimal controls
Firmware update
SDT updated the Checker series by adding a streaming screen:
- Continuous measurement histogram
- Real-time visualisation
- Free update via SDT Updater
Firmware update
Update process
- Download the SDT Updater software

Screen modes
- Default screen — main mode
- Streaming screen — real-time histogram
- Switch with the On/Off button
Applications
Compressor systems
- Main pipelines
- Connections and fittings
- Receivers and cylinders
- Valves and regulators
Pneumatic equipment
- Pneumatic tools
- Pneumatic cylinders
- Air valves
- Pneumatic actuators
Process gases

Energy audits
- Locating energy losses
- Estimating the cost of leaks
- Prioritising repairs
- Verifying results after repair
Advantages
Focused
- Single purpose — leaks
- Optimised for the task
- Maximum efficiency
Simple
- No special training required
- Works straight out of the box
- Minimal setup
Affordable
- Low total cost of ownership
- Fast payback
- Energy savings
Role in a reliability program
Operator-Driven Reliability (ODR)
LEAKChecker is ideal for ODR programs:
- Operator engagement
- First line of defence
- Fast problem detection
- Deeper analysis with SDT270/SDT340 later
A combined approach
- LEAKChecker — fast leak hunting
- SDT270/SDT340 — in-depth analysis
- Repair — fixing the leaks
- Verification — confirming the result
Economic impact
Cost of leaks
- 1 mm leak — ~30 W of losses
- 3 mm leak — ~500 W of losses
- 10 mm leak — ~3 kW of losses
Return on investment (ROI)
- Pays back in weeks to months
- Ongoing energy savings
- Reduced load on compressors
Checker Range series
LEAKChecker is part of a series of specialised detectors:
- LEAKChecker — air and gas leaks
- LUBEChecker — bearing lubrication control
- TRAPChecker — steam trap testing
- TIGHTChecker — tightness testing
- HATCHecker — ship hatch tightness
- ULTRAChecker — universal ultrasound detector
