Tracer gas leak detection involves introducing a safe, non-toxic gas — typically a 5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen mixture — into a sealed pipe or membrane system and then using a sensitive gas sniffer to detect the gas at the point of escape. Hydrogen is the lightest element, rising quickly through cover materials to the surface where it is detected at concentrations as low as 5 parts per million. This method is extraordinarily sensitive, capable of detecting leaks that are too small for acoustic or thermal methods, and works on non-pressurised systems such as drains, vents, and roof membranes.
