PV883 JUNIOR
GAS HANDLING SYSTEM – BOMBING STATION
IDEAL FOR LOW VOLUME APPLICATIONS
Introducing the VIC PV883 Junior Bombing Station, designed for helium and tracer gas leak detection in low-volume applications. Perfect for automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries, this compact version offers precise and efficient testing. The PV883 Junior ensures reliable identification of small leaks, making it ideal for quality assurance in smaller-scale operations.
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.
