The purpose of the PV-833 Junior bombing station is to “bomb” hermetically sealed components prior to leak testing. The ‘Helium Bomb” technique of leak testing is a method of testing components that have been sealed with no helium tracer gas inside. In order to introduce helium into the device, it is placed in a container and externally pressurized with helium at pressures varying typically from 2 atm to 5 atm and for periods from 1 to 10 hours. If a leakage path exists, helium will enter the component through the leak and it may then be tested on a Helium Mass Spectrometer Leak Detector.
