Helium Leak Testing – Ultra-Sensitive Leak Detection
Helium leak testing is the most accurate method for detecting even the smallest leaks in sealed systems. Using helium as a tracer gas, this technique ensures the integrity and safety of critical components.
Capabilities
- On-site helium leak testing for large systems and installations
- Overpressure and underpressure methods (vacuum and sniffing techniques)
- Leak spraying for pinpointing leak locations
- Outgassing analysis for vacuum integrity and contamination control
- Highly accurate detection sensitivity up to 5×10⁻¹² mbar·l/s
Example of reference Methods
- ASTM F2391-05 – Helium Mass Spectrometer Leak Detection
- ASTM F2338 – Non-destructive Package Leak Testing
Applications
- Hydrogen (H₂) trucks and high-pressure tanks
- Drivetrain and load-carrying components
- Roof boxes and structural parts
- Engine components under thermal and mechanical stress
- Design validation and test setup verification
- Durability and fatigue testing for safety-critical parts
