LEAK & FLOW TESTING METHODS EXPLAINED
FIND THE RIGHT METHOD FOR MY LEAK TESTING NEED
Leak and flow testing ensure product quality, reliability, and safety. Leak testing detects leaks to prevent failures, while flow testing confirms proper air or liquid flow.
At ATEQ Canada, these methods support industries like automotive, aerospace, medical, and packaging by meeting strict performance standards.
PRESSURE DECAY
A proven and versatile method that measures pressure loss in a sealed part over time. It’s fast, stable, and easy to automate, making it ideal for industrial production.
The ATEQ F620 delivers high repeatability and fast results for a wide range of applications.
FLOW TESTING (Laminar or Mass Flow)
This method measures the airflow through a part or system to detect leaks or verify correct flow performance.
ATEQ’s D620 and related instruments ensure precise measurements where flow accuracy is critical—such as in medical devices or fuel systems.
TRACER GAS
When high sensitivity is needed, tracer gas methods using helium or hydrogen offer unmatched precision.
Instruments like HX490S detect microscopic leaks in industries such as auto, EV, HVAC, medical, or military.
ELECTRICAL TESTING
For products requiring insulation integrity or electrical safety—like EV batteries or power electronics—
ATEQ’s IONIQ series verifies grounding, insulation resistance, and dielectric strength with precision and speed.
