4. Description
4.1 Function
The TITANTEST™ can detect helium and hydrogen tracer gases.
It is suited for leak testing according to the sniffer and vacuum methods.
When leak testing according to the sniffer method, the test object is pres-
surized with the tracer gas. The optional sniffer line can be used to sniff
the test object and measure the tracer gas escaping through a leak.
There are two different options for leak testing according to the vacuum
method:
– The test object can be evacuated and its outside sprayed with tracer
gas. This procedure has the advantage that leaks can be localized.
– The test object can be pressurized with tracer gas and tested in a vacu-
um chamber. To do this, the T
ITANTEST™ is connected to a vacuum cham-
ber. The device measures the overall leakage rate of the test object.
The device has three sensitivity levels for vacuum method: "GROSS",
"FINE" and "ULTRA". Depending on the pressure in the inlet flange, the T
I-
TANTEST™ automatically selects the most sensitive level. For information
on pressure ranges and detection limits, see Chapter 4.3: "Technical Data",
page 10.
