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...

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...

Why Leak Checking Is A Must

Growth and development of many industries has led to specialization. In the scientific world, testing is essential for personnel safety, equipment integrity and product quality. An often-overlooked procedure in factories and laboratories is checking and detecting leaks. Small leaks can be difficult to detect; however, when you have a leak, it will certainly affect your product, process, or personnel. The proper skilled labor and working equipment in any laboratory installation is an integral part of the operation of any organization.
