A high-speed, low-flow leak testing instrument from InterTech
Development Co., USA, offers an economical air-based alternative to
expensive, hard-to-maintain helium mass-spectrometer systems for QC
testing of specialised products with very low leak-rate tolerances.
Designed primarily for validating enclosures that must reliably
contain or exclude hazardous gases or liquids, IDC’s M-1075-44 leak
detector accommodates all applications where leak-rate limits are
specified as low as 0.0001cm3/s, and production volumes may require
testing of up to 7000 parts per hour. Approximately half the price of
comparable helium testers, it also eliminates helium operating costs
and avoids the potential problem of some test-part materials absorbing
helium.
