Leak Testing to Assure Product Integrity 

In today's competitive marketplace, ensuring product quality and reliability is a must. Leaks can affect performance, safety and brand reputation across all industries. More than just identifying leaks, our systems pinpoint their exact location and size, and measure the leak rate.

Our expertise in test, measurement and quality solutions helps ensure performance standards, promote confidence in every device and minimize risk. Leak-free products perform better, last longer and enhance brand reputation. Regulated industries, in particular, have no room for compromise in this regard.

What is a Leak Test?

A leak test is a quality control process used to detect and measure leaks in sealed components or systems, ensuring they function reliably but also meet industry standards.

It is an essential quality control measure, as it ensures not only the functionality of a product, but also its safety. This is generally done by pressurizing the system, without damaging the product.

Types of Leak Testing

Patented Optical Leak Testing

Our cutting-edge optical leak detection technology offers a non-contact, highly sensitive solution for detecting micro-leaks in sealed components. By leveraging advanced imaging and spectroscopy techniques, this method provides real-time, high-resolution visualization of potential leaks, making it ideal for medical devices, aerospace components, and high-precision electronics where traditional methods fall short.

Differential Leak Testing

A step above conventional pressure decay testing, differential leak testing compares pressure variations between a reference chamber and the test part. This method is exceptionally effective for high-speed, high-accuracy applications, allowing for faster cycle times and tighter tolerances in automotive, HVAC, and industrial manufacturing.

Standard Leak Testing

A proven and widely used approach, standard leak testing employs pressure decay, vacuum, or flow measurement to detect leaks in sealed enclosures and pressurized systems. This method is cost-effective and reliable for quality control in mass production environments, ensuring compliance with industry safety and performance standards.

Helium Leak Testing

Using helium as a tracer gas, this method detects even the smallest leaks in critical applications such as aerospace, semiconductor fabrication, and medical implants. It offers unmatched sensitivity and is ideal for ensuring hermetic seals in mission-critical products.

Water Leak Testing

Designed for products that require waterproofing validation, this test submerges components in water while applying air pressure, allowing bubbles to visually indicate leak points. Alternatively, we use pressure-based water ingress testing for enclosed products that must meet IP67 and IP68 ratings, such as consumer electronics, automotive lighting, and marine equipment.
