How Residual Gas Analysis (RGA) Factors into Leak Detection

Leak detection is an essential aspect of vacuum operations, underlying critical performance indicators like cost, efficiency, and safety. Extraordinary effort has been made to engineer leak-tight systems capable of inducing and maintaining different vacuum regimes without significant loss of pressure due to leaks. Yet no system is perfect. Even the highest-quality chambers, gaskets, pumping systems, and…
