UPGRADE PACKAGES

FOR YOUR TESTING NEEDS !

IMPROVE YOUR LEAK DETECTOR

Upgrading existing equipment is a cost-effective way to bring new life to your leak detection system. Wide varieties of upgrades are available and can include hardware, software, or both.

For example, existing equipment can be upgraded with new mechanical pumps; tooling can be upgraded with automation, electrical control panels can be replaced along with a new Human Machine Interface (HMI) and PLC software.

Software upgrades can also include data retention to record test data. Leak detectors can be upgraded whether they are from VIC or another supplier. Contact us today to discuss your custom or standard product upgrade options.

  • AB PLC Micro-Logix 1100 with associated Input, Output, Analog and Ethernet modules

  • Electrical enclosure populated with all associated circuit breakers, fuses, terminal blocks Motor starters, and Main Control relay

  • New pressure transducers

  • New water flow sensor

  • New compressor temperature sensors and display meter

  • HMI included for:

    • Monitoring screen with dynamics tank pressure, dynamic helium % and compressor operating state
    • Tank monitoring
    • Transducer calibration
    • Control panel with cold start, Analyzer calibration and run mode selection

  • On-site installation available

ISOLATION FILTERING SYSTEM UPGRADE

  • Ideally suited for harsh environments

  • Provides superior protection for the leak detector and chamber monitoring devices while eliminating the need for expensive sintered metal filters

  • Reduces high nitrogen purge requirements

  • Reduces downtime and maintenance costs due to leak detector contamination and particulate exposure

  • On-site installation available

TWO STEP CHARGE AND CHAMBER PURGE

UPGRADE

  • Ideally suited for non-proof test applications

  • Provides a two step low pressure and high-pressure helium charge that will allow quick identification of large product leaks preventing helium contamination of the chamber

  • Chamber purge provides an enhanced gas flow technique used to flush residual helium from the chamber and sample line after gross or fine leaks – allows immediate unaffected testing of subsequent cycles

  • On-site installation available

CHARGE CABINET

UPGRADE

  • Increases quality control

  • Provides a more accurate measurement of the product charge and evacuation pressures

  • The existing part pressure transducer will be removed from the current charge cabinet and mounted on the chamber door

  • VIC will replace the existing part evacuation pump and replace it with an oil-less maintenance free Venturi pump – this includes all associated piping and hardware

  • All charge cabinet valves will be rebuilt

  • On-site installation available

EVERLASTING CALIBRATION GAS LEAK

UPGRADE

  • Eliminates downtime and erroneous calibrations resulting from a lower calibrator charge pressure

  • Eliminates the requirements for frequent recharges associated with larger calibrators, typically a 10-4 Atm-cc/sec gas leak and larger

  • Allows a lower gas cylinder charge pressure

  • Pressure switch input to the existing PLC provides quality assurance that the leak standard is at the required charge pressures

  • On-site installation available

DYNAMIC HELIUM % PRESSURE COMPENSATION

UPGRADE

  • Increases accuracy of quantified part leaks providing greater quality assurance

  • Provides part leak rate correction based on dynamic part evacuation and helium charge levels

  • Ideal for low pressure charge applications i.e. fuel tanks or in production environments where part volumes continually change

  • On-site installation available

AUTO CALIBRATION/DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING

UPGRADE

  • Eliminates operator dependency to correctly calibrate system improving quality control

  • System automatically captures the background and leak standard values then calculates the accept and reject set points for go/no-go testing

  • Provides quantified part leak rate results

  • Reduces the ergonomic problems associated with manual calibration

  • On-site installation available

MS-50GT

UPGRADE

  • Extend the life of equipment

  • New touch-screen HMI

  • Allows a lower gas cylinder charge pressure

  • New Electronic package

  • 33% savings off a new unit purchase

  • Utilizes existing inventory of consumable spare parts

  • Five-year warranty on Electronics

HYDROGEN LEAK DETECTOR

Portable Hydrogen Sniffing Leak Detector.

The portable helium tracer gas sniff only MD-490S is considered the Leak Detection “Work Horse” by manufacturing companies worldwide is now available in two tracer gases.

MD-490S Dual Gas is the most advanced sniffing Helium/Hydrogen leak detector designed specifically for industrial environments. The MD-490S Dual Gas utilizes VIC’s own industrial-grade mass spectrometer to achieve the highest sensitivity, fastest response-time, and smallest footprint. With a touch of a button, this dual gas unit can detect either Helium or Hydrogen tracer gases, while using a single built-in dual purpose calibrated gas leak.
