Best Ultrasonic Leak Detector 2025
As industries demand ever-higher standards of safety, compliance, and efficiency, it is important to determine which ultrasonic leak detector will lead the market in 2025.
Portalevel® MAX NIPPON is a handheld, battery powered liquid level indicator specifically designed to be used on the thicker-walled cylinders which are common in Japan. It comes with a sensor extension rod for testing banks of cylinders and Portalevel® MAX NIPPON is specially calibrated as a solution for cylinders commonly used in the Japanese fire sector.

Safer: Portalevel® MAX NIPPON can test the level of a wide range of fire suppression agents including Clean Agents, Inert Gases, and CO2 within just ±1.5mm.
Faster: Portalevel® MAX NIPPON is operated by just a single operator and a reading can be taken in under 30 seconds, which is a dramatic improvement on traditional agent weight calculation methods like weighing cylinders.
Better: Portalevel® MAX NIPPON includes an extendable sensor rod which can be used to measure cylinder banks up to 4 deep without needing to move or uninstall cylinders, which also eliminates any downtime.
With approval from the Fire Safety and Equipment Centre of Japan (FESC), Portalevel® MAX NIPPON is a tailor-made solution for finding the liquid level of fire cylinders constructed in line with Japanese regulatory requirements. It is a highly accurate and versatile measurement platform which excels in both marine and land-based environments at reliably returning measurements with great precision. The Portasteele® CALCULATOR can be used alongside the Portalevel® MAX NIPPON to calculate the exact agent weight of a fire suppression system and ensure its safe operation. Portalevel® MAX NIPPON’s exceptional accuracy is matched only by its ease of use:
This establishes Portalevel® MAX NIPPON as a significant improvement on conventional agent measurement processes like weighing cylinders. Portalevel® MAX NIPPON also improves on methods like radioactive level indication, which carries significant safety concerns and related regulatory requirements.
