In Saudi Arabia's key industrial sectors, including petrochemicals (Jubail Industrial City), energy (Aramco), aerospace (Saudi Space Agency), and semiconductors (NEOM New City), the accuracy and reliability of sealing tests are crucial for equipment safety, production efficiency, and national energy strategy. Traditional oil pump leak detectors struggle to meet Saudi Arabia's stringent environmental requirements due to issues such as oil vapor contamination, high-temperature failure, and poor corrosion resistance. Taixing TXL-840Dry helium mass spectrometry leak detector stands out as the 'weather-resistant king' in Saudi Arabia's industrial sealing testing due to its three core advantages:' oil-free clean design, weather-resistant and corrosion-resistant performance, and dual-mode precise detection. 'This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the technical principles, core configurations, and industry applications, helping you understand its' irreplaceability.'
Saudi industry faces three unique challenges that make it difficult for traditional leak detectors to cope:
· High temperature and high humidity : In summer, the temperature in desert areas is as high as 50°C, and the humidity in coastal areas exceeds 90%. Traditional oil pumps are easy to fail due to the evaporation of lubricating oil at high temperature, and the mixture of oil vapor and water vapor aggravates equipment corrosion;
· High salt fog corrosion : the salt fog concentration along the Red Sea and Persian Gulf coast is extremely high (salt particle concentration>100mg/m³), ordinary metal parts will rust within 3 months, affecting the detection accuracy;
· Strict compliance : Saudi industry needs to comply with SABER certification (Saudi Product Safety Certification), ISO 14644-1 (cleanliness level 1), API 6A (oil pipe specification) and other standards, and the equipment needs to pass the localization test.
TXL-840Dry targeted solution :
· Oil-free vortex pump completely eliminates oil vapor pollution (the measured oil concentration in the cavity is less than 0.1ppm), suitable for petrochemical, semiconductor and other clean scenes;
· Weatherproof and corrosion-resistant design (stainless steel shell + anti-corrosion coating), stable operation for more than 5 years in high temperature of 50°C, 90% humidity and high salt spray environment;
· The dual-mode detection (vacuum + suction gun) covers micro leakage and surface leakage, and the detection efficiency is increased by 50%, with an error of less than 0.2mm, which meets the requirements of Saudi SABER certification.

The core components of TXL-840Dry are all based on international first-line brands or Taixing's own research and development technology, and are optimized for the Saudi environment:
· Dry scroll pump (Taixing TXSL-15) : German technology, oil-free design, excellent anti-pollution ability. Through the rotation of the scroll disk to compress gas, no lubricating oil is involved in the whole process, completely avoid the release of oil vapor (suitable for Saudi petrochemical high oil pollution environment);
· 180° Magnetic mass spectrometry module (Taixing patent) : helium selectivity>99%, sensitivity industry leading. Supports vacuum mode (micro-leak detection) and suction gun mode (surface leak hole positioning), to meet the high precision requirements of Saudi aerospace fuel system, semiconductor clean room;
· Ion source (Zaxis-810) : Iridium wire/yttrium oxide oscillation design, life> 3 years (three-year warranty). High temperature resistant (80°C), salt spray corrosion resistant (nickel plating for rust prevention), adapted to high temperature in Saudi desert and high salt environment in coastal area;
· 71-inch touch screen (Delta DOPBV107) : Supports Arabic menu, data storage and USB export. The test results can be traced (including time, leakage rate, environmental parameters), in line with the human-computer interaction requirements of Saudi SABER certification;
· Anti-corrosion shell : 304 stainless steel material + polytetrafluoroethylene coating, salt spray corrosion resistant (no corrosion for 500 hours), suitable for the high salt industrial environment along the Red Sea coast.
TXL-840Dry has proven its reliability in a number of core industrial sectors in Saudi Arabia with the advantages of "oil-free, weatherproof and accurate":
· Scene pain point : The crude oil pipeline and liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tanks in Jubail Industrial City need to operate for a long time under the high temperature of 50°C and humidity of 90%. The oil vapor of traditional oil pump leak detector will accelerate the corrosion of pipeline welds (annual corrosion rate>0.5mm), resulting in a sharp increase in leakage risk;
· TXL-840Dry solution : oil-free vortex pump to eliminate oil pollution, vacuum mode to detect pipeline weld (leakage rate <1×10^-¹³ Pa·m³/s), suction gun mode +15 m long suction gun scan the storage tank flange interface;
· Customer case : Saudi Aramco's LNG project in Jubail reduced the pipeline leakage rate from 0.8% to 0.1%, saving more than 20 million Saudi riyals in annual maintenance costs.
· Scene pain point : The oil and gas separator of Aramco oilfield needs to withstand high pressure (2000 Pa), high temperature (80°C) and high humidity (95%). The oil vapor of the traditional leak detector will mix with oil and gas to form explosive gas (methane concentration exceeds the standard);
· TXL-840Dry solution : Wide temperature range design (-20°C~ +60°C) to adapt to the extreme environment of oil fields; anti-static material (shell resistance 10⁹Ω) to avoid oil and gas adsorption; dual-mode detection covering the separator cavity and valve sealing points;
· Customer case : After the use of a cooperative oil field in Aramco, the shutdown time of the oil and gas separator was reduced by 50%, and the annual loss of oil and gas caused by leakage was avoided by more than 5 million barrels.
· Scene pain point : The satellite fuel tank and rocket engine at the Riyadh Space Center need to achieve "zero leakage" (leakage rate <1×10⁻¹² Pa·m³/s) in the environment of-40°C to +60°C. The oil vapor from the traditional oil pump leak detector will pollute the fuel (such as liquid oxygen), causing the risk of chemical reaction;
· TXL-840Dry solution : Oil-free design to eliminate oil pollution, vacuum mode to detect the fuel tank seal (leakage rate <1×10^-¹³ Pa·m³/s), suction gun mode +10 meters intelligent suction gun scan the engine nozzle weld;
· Customer case : After the Saudi Space Agency used it, the leakage detection time before satellite launch was shortened from 72 hours to 24 hours, and the launch success rate was increased to 99.5%.
· Scene pain point : In NEOM New City semiconductor factories (such as Intel and TSMC Saudi Arabia factory), the chip packaging cavity needs to be tested for micro-leakage in an oil-free environment (leakage rate <1×10^-¹³ Pa·m³/s). Traditional oil pump contamination will lead to silicon wafer defects (yield decreased by 15%);
· TXL-840Dry solution : Oil-free vortex pump completely eliminates oil contamination, vacuum mode detection of the packaging cavity (leakage rate <1×10^-¹³ Pa·m³/s), and suction gun mode scanning of the edge micro-leakage of the packaging;
· Customer case : After the use of a semiconductor factory, the chip yield increased from 85% to 97%, and the annual output value increased by more than 1 billion Saudi riyals.
