SF6 measurement
SF6 release or suspected fluoride contamination? AREPA Benelux carries out accurate SF6 measurements and analyses to determine health risks and contamination levels.
Our approach to SF6 measurement
After an incident, we measure whether fluoride contamination is present on installations and surfaces. We take a small sample on site from a defined surface and analyse it with special measuring equipment. This is how we determine the amount of fluoride left behind after the incident.
The measurement results provide immediate insight into the severity of the contamination. If necessary, we can perform additional research in our specialised laboratory for additional accuracy. Based on the results, we advise which follow-up steps are needed to make the situation safe and manageable.
SF6 measurement with focus on safety and control
Fluoride contamination is often not visible, but it can cause damage to installations and pose serious risks to employees. Residual contamination can lead to component deterioration and reduced system reliability.
By taking targeted measurements, we clearly identify these risks. Based on the results, we determine which measures are needed to keep installations safe and reliable. In this way, we support a controlled repair process and help prevent downtime and subsequent damage.
Why choose AREPA for SF6 measurement?
- Rapid deployment following incidents involving SF6 gas or other fluoride sources.
- Reliable on-site measurements with professional equipment.
- Possibility of additional laboratory analysis for extra accuracy.
- Clear reporting and practical advice for next steps.
Frequently asked questions
When is an SF6 measurement necessary?
A measurement is recommended after incidents where SF6 gas has been released or when there is doubt about possible fluoride contamination.
What exactly is measured?
We measure the presence and concentration of fluoride on surfaces to determine whether there are risks to humans or plant.
Is the contamination visible?
No. Fluoride contamination is usually not detectable with the naked eye. A measurement is necessary to get certainty.
What happens after the measurement?
Based on the results, we advise on cleaning, restoration or additional measures to make the situation safe and manageable.
Should production be shut down?
It depends on the situation and the measurement results. We always advise on the basis of safety and business continuity.
