1. DEFINITION OF THE ATEQ F580
The ATEQ F580 is a compact air/air leak detector used to control the air-tightness of
parts on production lines. It is especially adapted to manual and semi-automatic
workbenches. The method used is based on the measurement of a small variation or
drop in differential pressure between both the test and reference parts, when both are
filled with an identical pressure.
