B.4 Typical Leak Detection Applications
B.4.1 Quality Control of Production Parts and Assemblies
The detection and location of leaks is critical in the production of many products from
individual components, to subassemblies, to completed systems. In many of these cases, it
is as important to know the size or rate of the leak, as it is the location. Whether quantitative
or qualitative testing is required, our leak detectors help assure the leak integrity of your
parts or assemblies. Some examples include:
Evacuated parts and assemblies
❑ Hermetically sealed electronic packages
❑ Valves and manifolding
❑ Feedthroughs/glass-to-metal seals
❑ Vacuum vessels and systems
Pressurized parts and assemblies
❑ Air conditioning and refrigeration assemblies
❑ Radiators, heat exchangers, and condensers
❑ Brake, fuel, and hydraulic lines
❑ Gas tanks
❑ Food storage tanks and packaging
❑ Body implantable medical devices
❑ High purity piping
B.4.2 Maintenance of Systems
Many vacuum process tools in fabs of all types require occasional leak checking. This may
be part of a preventative maintenance schedule or in the event of an unexpected failure.
Downtime in either case must be minimized. A rugged, dependable, fast starting leak
detector is essential to maximize up time of production tools. Agilent Agilent Technologies
Helium Mass Spectrometer portable leak detectors keep industry moving. Examples of some
of these applications are:
Vacuum process equipment or tools
❑ Vacuum furnaces
❑ Vacuum coaters
❑ Beam lines
❑ Electron beam and ion beam process equipment
❑ Analytical Instruments
