LEAK DETECTION
Use Labino Ultra Violet Lamps to detect leakage not visible to the human eye and identify leakage at an early stage.
Leak detection using fluorescent tracer additive
In order to detect fluid leaks and their sources quickly, UV (365nm) lights are used together with UV fluorescent tracer additives. This method is used by most manufacturers of petrol and diesel vehicle engines, earth moving equipment and fork lift trucks. Leakage is detected the following way. The UV fluorescent additive is mixed with a fluid system, e.g. water, oils, fuels, coolants and refrigerants, and then the equipment is operated as normal to allow the fluorescent additive to circulate throughout. If the leak occurs, the UV fluorescent tracer will run with the fluid and remain at the site of the leak. After that, all external surfaces such as pipework, joints, connectors, gasket seals and coils are inspected with the UV light. The leak and its flow path will glow bright yellow/green under the UV.
Leak detection using fluorescent dye
The fluorescence in the dye is activated by irradiating with UV-light. Labino UVG2 Spotlight Torch is a powerful LED light source used together with fluorescent dye.
You do not need to clean the engine before or after the engine leakage test, nor do you have to empty the engine oil. You add the dye into the engine oil, start the engine to make the dye mix with the oil and circulate in the engine. Illuminate using the Labino UVG2 Spotlight to identify leakage.

Handheld with extreme UV Intensity SB Hera is probably the strongest UV-A LED light in the world. It generates more than 90 000 μW/cm2 at a distance of 38.1 cm (15″). This lamp is ideal for leak detection, identification of bacteria, as well as for performing NDT outdoors, for example in the oil and gas industry.

Flashlights & Headlights with spotlight beam profile The UVG series are flashlights & headlights intended to be used in nondestructive testing applications where space is limited. What differs the different UVG3 models are mainly beam size and intensity. What unites all models is a waterproof ingress protection (IP68) and penetrant resistant sealing in combination with a small size and a light weight.
