| Best Leak Test Technology
For Me? |

ATEQ manufactures instruments that will measure
leaks and flows. These testers have sensors that typically
measure either small changes in pressure, flow, the presence of a gas
or electrical change. These testing instruments may also be differential.
The most commonly used ATEQ Measurement Modules are listed in the
table below.

Just like buying shoes, one technology will not fit
all types of leak tests. The best leak test technology depends on
the application because there are technical, commercial and even
social considerations that must be considered. In many cases, more
than one leak testing instrument will work but here also lies the danger.
Success with one type of leak tester in the past does not guarantee success
with a new product or specification in the future. For this very reason,
ATEQ has designed many different leak test and flow testing modules to be
used in our instruments. Choosing leak test modules for your application
is best done with support from ATEQ's application engineering staff. For
the fastest service, please have as much information about your application.
The following table contains some technical information about the product
that you should have prior to contacting ATEQ.

Calibration equipment
for your Pressure Decay Leak Tester:
ATEQ makes it easy to validate your leak test, to calibrate
any leak or flow orifices and to conduct leak or flow rate
studies. Our portable leak and flow calibrator can be taken
to your production line and it can be used in your lab. Traceable
and simple to use - anywhere.
