Brief description

This CID describes a portable hydrogen leak detector, which is used to determine the location of leaks in fuel tanks as well as other aircraft systems. By filling a fuel tank or container with hydrogen (the hydrogen acts as a tracer and is in a maximum concentration of 5% with 95% nitrogen), the hydrogen leak detector will enable aircraft maintainers to locate the origination point(s) of the leak(s) as the hydrogen escapes into the atmosphere.
