Scepter. A standardized solution for thermal leak testing equipment.
SCEPTER SINGLE CHAMBER. SCEPTER DUAL CHAMBER. SCEPTER IHX.
Scepter
Scepter
Specifically designed for thermal leak detection applications. We offer this concept for fast delivery of a custom system. The Scepter upon customer order would require custom tooling which is placed inside the chamber(s) to complete the system. The Scepter is offered as a single, dual or IHX configuration.
