SmartTestHelium leak detection – The right test method for every applicationSelection of the appropriate qualityassurance method for products andproduction processes is based upon thenature and size of the item to be tested.In helium leak detection, a distinction ismade between two different test methods –integral and local leak detection.Integral leak detectionfor determining the total leak rateThe item to be tested is placed in a testchamber, filled with helium to test pressureand tested for leaks. The helium, whichcan egress through even the smallest leaks,reaches the SmartTest unit, enabling leakdetection rates of down to 10 -12 mbar l/s*.Measurement of the total leak rate insmaller test itemsClear GO/NO-GO indicationHighest objective measurement accuracyShort cycle timeThe integral leak detection is suitable foreither sniffer leak detection or vacuum leakdetection.Test chamberevacuatedTest gasTest gasSniffer leak detectionOverpressure-resistant test itemUse of a sniffer probeDetection limit < 5 · 10 -8 mbar l/s<strong>Vacuum</strong> leak detection<strong>Vacuum</strong>-tight test itemTest item filled with heliumDetection limit < 5 · 10 -12 mbar l/s* 1 mbar l/s = 0.1 Pa m 3 /s = 0.987 sccs4
