When considering a leak test beware - there
is no magic bullet. The correct leak test instrument is determined
from many factors including the test pressure, the leak rate,
the part's size, the part's construction, the cycle time,
the budget, the features... No single measurement technology
is the cure-all, which is why ATEQ manufactures a variety
of leak test measurement systems. An ATEQ leak test instrument
may use any of the following technologies - flow, mass flow,
pressure decay, differential pressure decay or ioniq. It is
usually a technical consideration that will determine the
measurement technology used for the leak test. Often there
is an overlap. It is this overlap that can confuse the issue
when comparing the quotes for several leak test companies.
Be careful sometimes a company will quote one technology because
that is all they make. In that case, they are not necessarily
looking out for you and your leak test - they are looking
out for themselves. At ATEQ if we are to work as your consultant,
we will recommend the appropriate technology. If you already
have a preference concerning one leak test technology rather
than the other, then tell us. Our modular leak test line can
very easily accommodate your needs.
