Checking coating systems for leak tightness
After installing a new system or maintaining an existing one, leaks occur often. This is often due to joining errors or forgotten or defective seals. Correct handling of helium leak detectors is crucial for finding these leaks and controlling equipment for tightness. The more is known about the physical phenomena underlying the leak test as well as the optimization possibilities during testing, the easier it is to use helium leak detectors in practice. This also leads to more reliable measurement results. The following overview provides practical information on the correct handling of helium leak detectors and the successful implementation of leak tests on vacuum systems.
