Relations SF6 Gas Analyzer RA912F — Advanced On-site SF₆ Testing Solution

When precision and reliability matter most, the Relations SF6 Gas Analyzer RA912F from Adex UAE is your ideal instrument for assessing sulfur hexafluoride gas quality in the field. This compact, multi-parameter analyzer helps technicians and engineers perform fast diagnostics, ensure safe operation, and extend the lifetime of SF₆-insulated equipment.


Key Features & Capabilities
  • Multi-parameter detection in one unit — The RA912F can measure SF₆ purity/concentration, moisture (dew point), and key decomposition byproducts including SO₂, CO, H₂S. In some configurations, it can even detect HF if required. SF6 Relations+1

  • Pump-back (recovery) option available — The “FP” or pump-back variant allows gas to be drawn, tested, and then returned to the original vessel, enabling zero emissions or minimal gas loss during testing. SF6 Relations+1

  • Smart design and protection — Equipped with a patented drying protection device, self-calibration routines (boot zero & slope), sensor/pipeline self-protection, and a TFT touchscreen interface for ease of use. SF6 Relations

  • Modular & IoT-ready architecture — The RA912F series supports firmware upgrades, dual operation modes (touchscreen + physical buttons), data logging, export, and remote transmission in modern setups. SF6 Gas Detector+1

  • Portable and battery powered — Featuring a robust battery (e.g. 8,000 mAh Li battery), this unit operates autonomously in field environments without requiring continuous external power. SF6 Gas Detector+2SF6 Gas Detector+2

Use Cases & Applications
  • Routine maintenance & diagnostics of SF₆-based equipment — Detect gas degradation, moisture ingress, or chemical byproducts before failure.

  • Commissioning & acceptance testing — Confirm gas quality in switchgear and GIS (gas insulated switchgear) installations.

  • Leak detection and post-repair verification — Validate gas purity after maintenance or repair procedures.

  • Regulation compliance & audit reporting — Generate documented gas quality reports for internal audits or regulatory reviews.

With the pump-back variant, users can minimize gas loss or environmental emissions during on-site testing.

FAQs

Q1: What is the difference between RA912F and RA912FP models?
The RA912FP (pump-back) variant includes a built-in gas return pump so that after testing, the gas can be returned to its original container, reducing emissions or gas loss.

Q2: How frequently should the RA912F be calibrated?
It is recommended to calibrate the analyzer at least every six months (or as per your regulatory / internal standards) to maintain measurement accuracy.

Q3: Can this analyzer measure more than just SF₆?
Yes. It also measures moisture (dew point) and several decomposition gases (SO₂, CO, H₂S), and in some optional configurations HF.

Q4: Does the analyzer support data logging and exports?
Yes — the unit supports logging, query, data export, and remote transmission features, ideal for reporting and digital workflows.

Q5: Is it suitable for outdoor/field environments?
Yes — the analyzer is designed to operate in ambient conditions (–20 °C to +50 °C, humidity 15–90 % RH) and includes protective measures (e.g. waterproofing for its enclosure).

Q6: What is the typical response time?
The response time is typically under 3 minutes for evaluating key parameters such as moisture and gas composition.
