Wet Or Dry Leak Detector?
Are you wondering about which leak detector is the best? Whether you choose wet or dry type, no leak can escape the detectors. You can never go wrong with leak detectors, whether for water, oil, fuel, refrigerant, gas, steam, or vacuum. The usage of wet or dry leak detectors depends on your working environment. For instance, working in a laboratory or cleanroom, a dry leak detector would be the best — it helps maintain cleanliness and prevent contamination from possible...

Considerations When Leak Checking Your Vacuum System
A leak is a small opening in a system’s many or single components that permits gas to leave or enter uncontrollably. The pressure differential between the interior and outside of the system, as well as the gas type and hole size, determine the leak rate. Some of the factors that can cause system failure include contamination and outgassing. Leaks can affect the vacuum levels. Leaks in the pipes can stop vacuum systems from attaining the required vacuum level for the...

Vacuum Weld Details And Why They Must Not Be Overlooked
Welding, a process that dates back to the Iron and Bronze ages, has evolved into a highly specialized procedure that provides innumerable benefits across a range of industries and applications. The process is being used to join or create small and large components, and its success has largely been attributed to vacuum solutions. From being able to give out superior quality to high precision, vacuum welding has many important benefits that explain why companies in the fields of electrical engineering,...

Virtual Leaks And Why They Matter
A virtual leak is a gas source that is trapped physically in a chamber. Therefore, the trapped gas pocket’s path that goes into the chamber proper becomes small and low conductance. Virtual leaks often occur due to lack of abiding by the correct vacuum practice or a manufacturing fault in the material. There are various types of virtual leaks. For instance, an internal weld crack. If there is air being released, the gas in the crack will leave the crack...

Renting versus Buying a Helium Leak Detector
When it comes to renting equipment, there are a lot of factors to keep in mind: how long will you need the equipment? Would it be more cost effective to buy or rent? Will the piece of equipment your project requires even be available to rent? How do you ensure the piece of equipment you rent will actually meet your project needs? There are many points to consider when deciding between renting and buying a helium leak detector.
