Introduction
to Leak and Flow Testers
Leak testing as a science has come a long way
from submerging your product in water and observing
the bubbles that rise. If you are new to leak
and flow testing, or if you feel that you need
your vocabulary refreshed, we strongly recommend
that you take a few minutes and browse through
our informational brochure, Leak and Flow Testing
101.
Leak
Testers and Flow Testers for Automotive Component
Manufacturers
We at TME understand that implementing a leak
test system for automotive component manufacturers
often requires some creative problem solving.
The TME engineers and designers have dealt with
issues involving minimizing testing time, integrating
the leak tester into automated production equipment
and designing fixtures to specifically accommodate
the component being tested. The TME Solution© Leak and Flow Tester is the height of flexibility
to enable our engineering staff to meet your needs.
Mass
Flow Testers
Mass flow testing is a valid method for identifying
occlusions in an open-ended test part such as
a hose or tube. Any obstructions in the part will
restrict the flow of air through the device, thereby
causing the part to fail the test. The TME
Solution© and the MDT-100 Leak and Flow
Tester can be programmed to perform flow tests
for occlusions.
In
certain circumstances, either pressure decay or
mass flow testers can be used for leak testing.
Depending on the size of the leak you are searching
for (and the volume of your product), mass flow
leak testers can have several advantages, including
speed of test (1-2 seconds, rather than the longer
time required for the pressure decay fill, settle,
test cycle). The mass flow test is not dependent
on temperature or air density, which may be a
difficulty for the pressure decay test. The TME
Solution© and the MDT-100 Leak and Flow
Tester are each configured to perform both leak
and flow tests.
With
our many years of experience in component level
leak test systems, our Applications Specialists
can help you determine the most appropriate leak
test system (leak tester, accessories and/or fixtures)
for your product to ensure that you receive the
best possible value for your investment and comply
with applicable industrial standards. |
