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...
