METPOINT® CID
Simple and precise leak detection
Minimise losses and costs with the METPOINT® CID leak management system
Leaks in the compressed air supply of your production cause unwanted loss of compressed air, which leads to higher energy consumption and therefore rising energy costs and CO₂ emissions. With the METPOINT CID leak management system, you find leaks in your production quickly and precisely, quantify the losses directly during the leak search and document all faults clearly so that they can be repaired in a structured way. The supplied software and accessories help you find leaks quickly and intuitively, even in hard-to-reach places.

Locate compressed air losses acoustically
Using ultrasonic detection, the leak detector also finds distant leaks. You walk systematically along the compressed air piping and use the headphones to hear whether you are approaching a leak. Disturbing ambient noise is filtered out, so the device can be used without problems even while work is in progress. The battery life of up to 9 hours of continuous operation is sufficient even for extended searches. The attachment of the detector can be changed flexibly to make sure even the smallest leaks are found on nearby or distant lines.
Quantify and document compressed air losses
The leak is shown visually on the colour touch display. The measured compressed air loss is displayed directly at the location concerned, and the financial savings potential of a repair is quantified. The integrated laser distance measurement ensures reliable cost calculation. The leak location and the calculated data can be saved directly in the detector for later repair.
Track down leaks even at long distances
Short distances
Directional tube for pinpoint location
Where lines are close together, the directional tube with measuring tip is used. The compressed air system is checked at close range with the leak detector. Its small opening allows precise, pinpoint location of even the smallest leaks.
Medium distances
Sound funnel for standard applications
The sound funnel is used at medium distances of 0.2 to 6 metres from the line being examined. A laser pointer can be activated for easier orientation. Thanks to its funnel shape, it can also capture the ultrasonic waves of distant leaks. The sound funnel is the most frequently used attachment.
Long distances
Parabolic mirror for greater distances
The parabolic mirror makes it possible to find a leak at greater distances of 3 to 12 metres from the compressed air system. The integrated aiming laser helps with targeting, and the camera with telephoto lens with locating leaks precisely. The parabolic mirror is stored in a robust carrying case and is available as an accessory.
How the METPOINT® CID works
Due to friction between gas molecules, leaks produce noises that are inaudible to the human ear. The leak detector identifies these noises, and the user can locate them acoustically via the headphones. In addition, the position and size of the leak are shown on the display.
Leak data management
Simple data transfer
Once all leaks have been located and temporarily stored in the METPOINT CID, the data is transferred via a USB stick to the included software on a computer.
Assign recordings flexibly
The software clearly assigns the recordings to the company being examined. The recordings can be filed and filtered by building and project.
Individual data correction
Presets entered in the leak detector during the search, such as the location or spare parts, can be changed as required. Information not yet recorded during the search can easily be added on the computer.
Structured follow-up
The urgency of the leak repair can also be noted. As soon as the repair has been carried out, the status of the leak can be changed in the software.
Report generation in accordance with ISO 50001
Finally, a report in accordance with ISO 50001 can be generated automatically, containing the totalled results of the leak search, a detailed list of the individual leaks and the project master data.

Frequently asked questions
What do I use the METPOINT CID for?
For finding leaks in the compressed air network quickly and precisely. The losses are quantified directly during the search, and all faults are documented clearly.
How does leak detection work?
Leaks produce ultrasonic noises that the human ear cannot hear. The detector makes them audible via headphones and shows the position and size of the leak on the display.
Can I search while operations are running?
Yes. Disturbing ambient noise is filtered out, so the search is possible even while work is in progress.
From what distance can leaks be found?
For nearby lines there is the directional tube with measuring tip, and for 0.2 to 6 metres the sound funnel. With the parabolic mirror, available as an accessory, 3 to 12 metres are possible.
How long does the battery last?
The battery lasts up to 9 hours of continuous operation and is sufficient even for extended searches.
How is the cost of a leak calculated?
The device directly displays the measured compressed air loss and the financial savings potential. The integrated laser distance measurement ensures reliable cost calculation.
How is the data processed further?
The stored leaks are transferred via USB stick to the supplied software. There they can be filed by building and project, supplemented, prioritised and have their status changed once repaired.
Do I get a report?
Yes. The software automatically generates a report with the totalled results, a list of the individual leaks and the project master data.
