BUBBLE TEST VIDEO
How to quantify your leak rate with bubbles?
This video showcases multiple calibrated gas leaks submerged in water, using the bubble immersion method to visually represent different leak rates. Each calibrated leak source releases gas into the liquid, forming bubbles at distinct frequencies. By comparing the number and speed of bubbles for each leak, viewers can clearly observe how varying leak rates behave in real-time.
This method offers a powerful visual tool for:
- Demonstrating leak rate differences
- Training operators to recognize leak severity
- Calibrating and verifying leak detection systems
The video provides a straightforward, side-by-side look at how gas leaks of different intensities appear, making it ideal for educational and quality assurance purposes in industries such as automotive, medical devices, and electronics.
WEBINAR l THERMAL APPLICATION
Webinar presented by Vacuum Instruments Corporation in 2018.
This video explores the use of thermal-based leak testing solutions in the automotive industry and beyond. It highlights how thermal sensors and infrared technology can be applied to detect leaks in a variety of components—particularly in challenging or enclosed environments where traditional methods may fall short. The presentation covers key advantages such as non-contact testing, fast detection times, and versatility across different materials and part geometries. Viewers will gain insights into how thermal leak detection is being integrated into production lines to improve reliability, efficiency, and quality assurance in sectors like automotive, electronics, and energy.
TRAINING l SNIFFING METHOD
This video demonstrates the helium sniffing method, where a test piece is pressurized with helium gas and a handheld sniffer probe is used to scan for leaks. Connected to a helium leak detector, the probe is passed over potential leak points. When helium escapes, the detector alerts the operator, clearly indicating the leak location.
The video highlights how this method is effective for pinpointing precise leak sites in complex assemblies, making it ideal for both production line diagnostics and maintenance inspections.
TRAINING l BOMBING METHOD
This video illustrates the helium bombing method, where a test part is placed inside a high-pressure helium atmosphere, allowing helium to enter through any micro-leaks. After a dwell period, the part is moved to a vacuum chamber, where a mass spectrometer detects any helium escaping from inside the component.
The video showcases how this method is especially effective for identifying internal leaks in sealed parts, such as electronic devices and hermetically sealed containers, where traditional testing methods may fall short.
