A supersonic tracer gas impingement through-wall leak detection system can detect leaks through a barrier without the need for temporary enclosures or interior pressurization. The leak detection system includes a wand that can flow a mixture of compressed gas, such as air, and a tracer gas through a nozzle. The nozzle may be held close to a barrier to be tested and the pressure supplied against the barrier may be adjusted to achieve the desired exit velocity and resulting stagnation pressure on the surface of the tested barrier. A tracer gas detector or soap solution for visual indication of bubbling can be disposed on the other side of the barrier to detect the presence or absence of the tracer gas. |
