TQC have a standard range of helium leak testing solutions that use common elements and bespoke tooling to offer application specific testing.
Typically, components are loaded into a fixture for testing with the system automatically evacuating the part and then filling with a measured dose/pressure of helium test gas. The part evacuation cycle acts as an initial leak test to ensure helium gas is not wasted by testing a gross leaking part. Once helium is present in the part, the mass spectrometer carries out the test. Typical test accuracy for a bench like this is 1x10-8 mbar.l / sec. And above. Following any testing a sniffer probe connected to the mass spectrometer can be used to locate the leaks that are larger than 10-5 mbar.l/sec
Special elements of this application pictured were that the test piece had to be subjected to ultra high vacuum of 1x10-4 mbar for 25 minutes prior to any testing.
The main features of the system are -
- Mobile bench on lockable castors
- Test chamber with manually clampable lid
- Storage position for Helium gas bottle
- Test system cabinet
- Electrical cabinet with industrial PC.
- Operator interface – screen, keyboard and pushbutton box.
- Box with master test piece and leak location probe
- Main vacuum pump
- Helium leak detector
