This standard provides the testing and functional requirements guidance necessary for a leak detection device that uses any non-A/C refrigerant tracer gas, such as helium or a nitrogen-hydrogen blend, to provide functional performance equivalent to a refrigerant electronic leak detector. It explains how a non- refrigerant leak detector's calibration can be established to provide levels of detection equal to electronic leak detectors that meet SAE J2791 for R-134a and SAE J2913 for R-1234yf. This standard is being updated to modify the requirements when the tracer gas is significantly lighter than air. The Contaminated Atmosphere test is not required for tracer gases with a molecular weight of 20 or lower. Tracer gases with a molecular weight of 20 or lower will diffuse rapidly into the ambient atmosphere and will therefore not be a contaminant.

A method is presented for using a mass spectrometer leak detector analytically for large systems. The method consists of calibrating the mass spectrometer, measuring the response time of the system being checked for leaks, and then utilizing these results in the system tests. The method has been used to measure leaks in two large (360 and 600 liters) heat exchangers of complex internal geometry. The response times of these vessels were 18 and 24 min, respectively, and the minimum detectable leak was about 4.6 x 10−10 std-cc/sec for each vessel.
