Why is my leak rate repeatability so poor?
Ron Pawulski explores how poor control of test pressure is one of the most common causes of repeatability issues with leak testing. The answer? Digital smart sensors and software that constantly monitor and adjust to compensate for any variations.
How to reduce fill time in leak test
When it comes to leak, a smaller part is faster to test. But you can’t just make a part smaller – or can you? Steve White discusses ways to shorten fill time by considering test station fixturing and connections, the part’s internal geometry and supply pressure.
Helium 101: Making the most of trace-gas-based leak testing
Helium leak testing is one of the oldest and most developed members of the family of trace-gas-based leak testing methods. This article in Quality Magazine by Cincinnati Test Systems' systems engineer, Peter Bonyhati, provides an overview of uses and benefits of the various trace gas methods; helium and its alternatives.
A new look at leak testing
Sciemetric CEO Nathan Sheaff talks to the editors of Smart Industry about how digital transformation and big data analysis have converged to create a new generation of intelligent leak test systems that provide manufacturers with the reliability and the repeatability to achieve a higher standard of production quality.
Large volume leak test: 4 tips for a reliable and repeatable test
Performing a leak test on big parts poses big challenges. But, as is the case with any leak test scenario, if you know and control your variables, you can control the test. Here are 4 tips to help you achieve a reliable and repeatable leak test.
How not to fear the Gage R of your leak test
In this feature with Quality Magazine, Rob Plumridge, Sciemetric leak application engineer, discusses how to tackle the first “R” of Gage R&R for leak testing – repeatability. By focusing on repeatability first (before the other “R” – reproducibility), manufacturers can be certain they have addressed all the controllable variables that can impact the leak test, regardless of the equipment.
