In leak testing, the ideal leak tester could be identified from the founding of the leakage. Although in other cases, when you are not able to see through the machines, evaluation and calculation is your answer. Before performing exams and making use of leak testers, make sure that you have double-checked the cycle time of the leak pressure. Then you can estimate the equipment costs you might need.
- Consider product speed and resolution - Are the engineers who advise you sure that the tools used are accurate? - Find a number of models and select several that have the features you want - Tools should have multiple part types - Equipment should be easily upgradable if new parts are necessary - Equipment can configure the sequence by itself - Contain a vast number of pressure signatures for storage space and data compilation - The ability to record and recall signatures
2. An Ounce Of Prevention Is Worth A Pound Of Cure
A good leak tester should be able to predict leakages before they can even occur. It should be flexible in doing multiple tasks. These tasks consist of bar code reading, connection with local area networks, and temperature reimbursement. Because of recent updates in the technology, there have been a number of automatic leak testers that could operate without the engineers? regular deliberation and analysis. After setting the options on your automatic leak tester, it would be able to start the cycle and do accurate testing by on its own. These automatic leak testing equipments could examine a part in less than 40 seconds.
3. Additional Considerations
In buying a leak tester, you should think of the durability before the price. Since equipment may cost you a large amount of money, make sure to think of quality first before anything else. You may have been charged with a low cost leak tester and saved some money, but in time it could break down and cost a number of calibration malfunctions. You would just spend a lot more in updated maintenance and fixings. Without the appropriate equipment, even the best professionals in the industry can't do their job - so get the best equipment you can.
All of us in the manufacturing industry understand the importance of quality testing. For the customer, quality testing means assurance that the product performs properly�"assurance that the tank will not leak, that the pump casting does not have imperfections, resulting in a leak. For the manufacturer, bad parts delivered to the customer mean lost revenue, or even lost business. That's why it is important to have a system in place to identify and deal with substandard parts.
But what if the manufacturer is failing good parts? The consequences are far more subtle, but nonetheless impactful for both the manufacturer and the customer. Costs rise as production must be increased to compensate for the lost parts, costs that are often passed on to the customer.
Such was the case with one of our clients, a consumer goods manufacturer. They were leak testing the water-tightness of a dishwasher component, an unpressurized water vessel, using a bubble test. The vessel was filled with air and submerged, and escaping bubbles signaled leaks in the ultrasonic weld seam, resulting in a fail. However, the customer had not been taking into account the fact that the difference between the size of an air molecule (the medium used in the application) and a water molecule (the medium that the part was specified to contain) means that air can escape through openings that water can't. By using an antiquated technology that was still in place only because of years of use, the company was rejecting a high percentage of potentially good parts that leaked air, but would not necessarily have leaked water. We helped this customer by first identifying the problem in their current application, and then designing a new custom solution.
Could your leak test or other application be failing good parts? Although quality isn't the issue, the wasted time and materials could be leaching money from your profits and limiting your company's ability to compete. It may be time to update. Don't keep doing it the way you're doing it because it's the way you've always done it.
