Tube Leak Detector

This Vacuum Tube Leak Detector VLD-3000 simple & accurate
method of testing leakages in the tubes of Boiler, Condenser,
Heat -Exchanger, Chiller, Cooler, etc.
It is a compact tool for checking the tubes for leakage before
insertion in tube plate. It works on principle of vacuum in which
tool vacuums the air from tube & create vacuum to a desired
reading on gauge.

Steady reading on gauge indicates NO LEAK.
If the reading on the gauge drops it indicates a LEAK in the 1/4” - 3” O.D.
