Description

Edwards ELD500 Helium Leak Detector

Edwards new ELD500 fully automated leak detector has arrived. It’s designed for fast, accurate leak detection in a wide range of applications, is fully mobile with an easy to use control interface. Edwards ELD500 is your perfect partner in leak detection. Trolley not included. Click here for Trolley.

With three variants in the range, FLEX, WET and DRY, plus an extensive catalogue of accessories, the
versatile Edwards ELD500 leak detector is ideal across all applications. At the push of a button the ELD500
can easily be set to work in either vacuum mode for precise measurement of leak rate or sniffer mode for
identifying leak location.

The FLEX unit does not include the backing pump, so you may use your own, or purchase a brand new unit from us by clicking here.

Edwards ELD500 Helium Leak Detector

The Edwards ELD500 is a high-precision, portable helium leak detector designed for fast, repeatable leak detection across diverse applications—from semiconductor process tools to research vacuum systems. Featuring both vacuum mode for quantitative leak measurement and sniffer mode for pinpoint leak localization, it’s engineered for convenience, reliability, and cost-efficient performance. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
