CUSTOM LEAK TEST SYSTEM FOR MILITARY APPLICATIONS

INTREPRID l MILITARY & DEFENSE

The system uses helium molecular detection with a mass spectrometer leak detector and vacuum technology to determine the rate of helium leakage from a test part.

The Intrepid is a standardized solution for leak testing nose cones and optics/guidance assemblies at 10-9 using our MS-50GT. It can also be used for other applications.

FEATURES

  • PERFORMANCE

    • Sensitivity vacuum: 3.0 x 10-11 atm-cc/sec

    • Sensitivity sniffing: 3.0 x 10-3 to -5 atm-cc/sec

    • Startup time: less than 3 minutes

  • OPERATION

    1. Part is placed under a retractable test chamber
    2. Test chamber is lowered and locked down
    3. Test cycle starts
    4. Chamber and the part are evacuated (under vacuum)
    5. Part is charged (Inside-In Method) or the Bell Jar is charged with helium (Inside-Out Method)
    6. Leak test is performed to detect if any Helium leaked from the test part to the bell jar (Inside-in) or from the bell jar to the part (Inside-out)
    7. Test cycle is completed

     

    The INTREPID can be fully customized to meet your testing requirements.
