Portascanner® AIRTIGHT is our most advanced ultrasonic room integrity testing tool, contributing to optimal airtightness. Portascanner® AIRTIGHT locates and quantifies even the smallest of leaks and can automatically analyse and consolidate this data, to present these results as indications of a room’s airtightness. This allows for quick testing with extreme precision for applications in the construction, maintenance, or medical fields.

Coltraco Ultrasonics’ Portascanner® AIRTIGHT is the only instrument that gives you confidence to find, fix and seal air leaks with pinpoint accuracy, providing true insights and certainty for building airtightness, simply and quickly.
Portascanner® AIRTIGHT’s ultrasonic operation allows it to detect leaks as small as 0.06mm in diameter and quantify leaks as small as 0.5mm in diameter. Portascanner® AIRTIGHT’s computer can detect and collate data from multiple leaks in a single test which reduces the amount of tests which must be conducted in the case of multiple leaks. This makes Portascanner® AIRTIGHT’s ability to test the airtightness of a room industry-leading, and its quick and easy testing process establishes Portascanner® AIRTIGHT as the ideal tool for airtightness testing in Net Zero and Passive House construction projects.
| For Construction Industry | For Airtightness Testers | For Medical Facilities |
| No pressurisation air movement, or temperature differentials needed to detect leaks | Can be used before, during, and after a Door Fan or Pulse Test. | Occupants, visitors, and staff may remain on the wards whilst testing is conducted. |
| Air leak tests can be conducted, before, during, and after the Build Programme. | Ease of use. Lightweight, ergonomic, handheld, battery powered. | Verify that positive and negative air pressure ventilation techniques are working efficiently and effectively. |
| Undertake a Passivhaus, or equivalent, project, with the certainty of passing the mandatory Door Fan Test. | Objective timestamped instant reports of leakage | Reduce airborne infection contamination |
| Any competent person can be trained in minutes. | No need to interrupt the execution of the Build Programme. | Reduce unwanted noise and pest infestation. |
| Camera and reporting on the device for easy tracking of leaks in a multi-family building | No need to chase leaks with a smoke pencil | Increase fire safety with improved compartmentation. |
| Precision made components and volumetric modular solutions can be factory tested. | Instantly detect and locate air leaks as small as 0.06mm. | Improve energy efficiency |
Unlike Thermal Cameras, Anemometers, and Smoke Pencils, the Portascanner® AIRTIGHT gives certainty. The Portascanner® AIRTIGHT is the only equipment that is preventative in its operation, allowing the detection of leaks in the very early stages and ensuring that the door fan test is passed on the first try.
“Thought I’d share this exciting news with you. We’ve been using your wand for a project we are building in Sullivan County New York. It’s been working great; we are using it on every module and it helps us fine tune the air sealing.
We have some advanced air sealing details that were developed between SBS and the Architect and an energy consultant.
Even though the project is not going for any certification for energy programs, we had a module, blower tested.
The results came back 67% better than Code.”
