Features
Leak testing is an integral and essential part of so many manufacturing processes today. The necessity to maximize product quality, reliability and process yield drives manufacturers to implement ever more stringent standards.
Companies offering leak detection instrumentation to those who have such a requirement, tend to provide "standardized" packages without helping the user to understand the dynamics of the measurement problem.
VTI is unique in being able to offer the customer custom calibrated leaks that can be built into an actual product component to allow a true understanding of the measurement to be made before costly instrumentation or systems are purchased. Our extensive knowledge of custom system building can then be employed to build the right solution for the task at hand.
Pressure decay, mass flow or Helium sniffing techniques are used widely today but in many installations assumptions have been made about the measurement cycle. Calibrating the leak test system can become a formality that is instrument and not system focused. That is to say that while this may prove the sensitivity of the detection instrument, it does not evaluate system capability. Issues such as response times, dilution factors that may come into play, how well a system may handle different 'dynamic leak effects' are not evaluated. Most importantly, this does not allow for clear determination of a product pass / fail point.
