FAQ's of Rigorous Non-destructive Leak Testing Instrument for Detecting Minute Leaks in cartridge bottles:
Q: How does the leak detection process work in this instrument?
A: This instrument detects leaks using the pressure decay method. A cartridge bottle is clamped, and dry compressed air or inert gas is introduced to a set pressure. The machine then monitors for any pressure loss, digitally calculating the leak rate in real-time, ensuring minute leaks are accurately identified without damaging the specimen.
Q: What types and sizes of cartridge bottles can be tested?
A: The instrument accommodates 10 ml to 500 ml cartridge bottles, with a maximum test width of 100 mm and specimen height up to 400 mm. It is suitable for testing a wide variety of small containers, making it ideal for both laboratory analysis and industrial quality control.
Q: When should calibration be performed, and how is it managed?
A: Calibration should follow your quality routine or after major maintenance. The instrument supports automated calibration with a traceable standard leak, simplifying the process and ensuring ongoing accuracy. Quick access maintenance panels facilitate easy service and re-calibration whenever required.
Q: Where can this instrument be installed and used?
A: Designed as a bench-top model, it is suitable for laboratory environments as well as industrial production floors. Its robust stainless steel construction makes it ideal for repeated use in a variety of professional settings requiring high-precision leak detection.
Q: What safety features are built into the system?
A: For user protection and instrument integrity, the unit has an emergency stop button, over-pressure protection mechanisms, and provides both audible buzzer and visual indicators in case of any alarm condition, ensuring safe operation during every test cycle.
Q: How is test data managed and exported?
A: All test data are automatically recorded in the instrument's internal memory. For analysis or compliance documentation, users can export records via USB or RS232 interfaces, streamlining data management for audits and reporting.
Q: What are the key benefits of using a non-destructive leak testing instrument for cartridge bottles?
A: This instrument allows comprehensive leak detection while preserving the integrity of each bottle, supporting high-sensitivity performance, fast testing throughput, and compliance with international standards.
