Leak detection know how

Leak testing plays an important part for our everyday safety, environmental protection as well as for the reliability of production processes and products we use.

As important as it is, it is challenging to determine the perfect leak test process for a particular application. The process begins with the definition of the required tightness, i.e. leak rate. This gets especially complex due to the different units that are used in this context. The next challenge is to define the right test method and procedure. A large number of different options are available with different characteristics regarding sensitivity, accuracy, user-friendliness and cost of ownership.
