Anhydrous Ammonia Leak Detection.

[Grizzly]

Soap and bubbles are best at pinpointing the source!

Whenever I try and use soap and bubbles I find it a wast of time.
On account of the fact that the water is absorbed to readily by the Ammonia!

One of my favorites is the old rub the the site of the potential leak and then sniff the hand trick! And that doesn't cost anything!

Cant stick your hand up to a Say! Leaking Shaft seal.
Not without stripping Half the drive/ Guards etc off!

Grizzly,

Soap bubbles have never failed me as long as the systems pressure was relatively higher than atmosphere!
Sure you could discount the usefulness of touching the potential leak and smelling it because it may require some disassembly in about 1 fifth of 1 percent of the system that I have been charged with!

Heck I would counter that there is no such thing as a perfect leak detection method! How would your sulfer stick do in 50 mile per hour winds? In that case the sniffing your hand trick would work!

Each to their own, as they say.

I must say I have never tried to leak check in 50 mph winds. (must be big bubbles?)
The last thing i would be doing is sniffing my hand.
If you bother to read my post correctly.
I actually refer to gods own leak detector.
I just did not where to do the sniffing.
