Spray method
Response time
When spraying starts, the leak signal is not displayed instantaneously
on the analyzer cell:
there is a response time which depends on the volume V being tested
and the helium pumping speed S of the system at the opening of the
part, according to the following relation:
T = V/S (T in second, V in litre, S in l/s)
T is the time required for the signal to reach 63 % of the final value.
This involves removing air from the part tested, connecting it to the
analyzer cell and then spraying helium over the outer surface.
The part is placed under a
cover, into which helium is
injected.
The leak cannot be located.
Potential leaking areas are
sprayed with helium.
The leak can be located.
