Leak Testing |
|
Colormetric detectors are rapid leak
detectors and inexpensive to use. They react
chemically with minute leaks causing a visible color change in the
developer.
They can be used to detect leaks up to 1x10-7 Std cm3/s
WHERE ARE
COLORMETRIC LEAK TESTERS USED?
Colormetric developers are used to leak test large single and
double walled tanks, pressure and vauum vessels, laminated, lined
or double-walled parts, complex piping systems, flexible
containers (such as aircraft fuel tanks), glass-to-metal seals in
hybrid packages and systems that inherently contain or will
contain the tracer (water, ammonia, chlorine or oil).
