Leak Testing

InterTech Selects Best Match Leak Test Technology for Each Application
InterTech’s turnkey leak testing solutions use the best available technology to deliver the lowest operational costs possible within leak test specifications. The full range of dry leak testing methods are considered -- pressure decay leak testing, differential pressure decay leak testing, mass flow leak testing, and helium leak testing– balancing upfront costs of instrumentation and fixture designs with the real costs of testing times at required accuracies to find best-fit methods.

Technology for Leak Tests with Superior Accuracy
InterTech can document better performance in many hundreds of leak testing applications, as measured by cycle times within leak test specifications. InterTech’s superior technology and vast leak testing knowledge base on fixture design, temperature compensation, and integration of software and hardware at the system level makes this difference.

Also behind this superior track record in leak testing applications is InterTech’s instrumentation for pressure decay leak testing, differential pressure decay leak testing, mass flow leak testing, and helium mass spectrometer leak testing. InterTech’s patented solutions eliminate error-prone mechanical processes for leak test calibration and validation and replace them with maintenance-free electronic instrumentation (CalVal™ and CalMaster™).

InterTech’s Patented Mass Flow Leak Testing Instruments are Best-in-Class
Unlike me-too instrument builders that offer mass flow instruments built from standardized parts, InterTech uses superior flow sensors and customizes components in its mass flow instruments.
The result is faster test cycles with greater accuracy
(Target Gauge R&R 10%).

InterTech mass flow leak testing technology is recommended for many applications that need to measure leaks down to 0.05 ccm and for testing large volume parts.

Superior Pressure Decay and
Differential Pressure Decay Leak Testing
When testing small volume parts at higher leak rates and when capital equipment cost is more important than cycle time, InterTech’s less expensive pressure decay and differential pressure decay testing technology is recommended.

InterTech’s applications engineers have in-depth experience in controlling factors that limit the accuracy of pressure decay leak testing methods, such as part deformities, fixture seal-creep, or ambient temperature changes.

Helium Testing
for Tightest Tolerance Applications
In aerospace and other applications (such as HVAC components) where leaks less than 10-3 sccs. need to be detected, helium mass spectrometer testing is used.

InterTech has extensive in-depth experience integrating helium leak detection instrumentation into custom designed and built test systems to handle production rates from less than 60 to more than 1800 parts per hour.
