MET's H2000 leak tester safely and accurately tests glove boxes and isolation chambers, finding leaks in the most awkward locations.
The company supplies equipment and services to test to ISO 10648-2: Containment Enclosures - Part 2: Classification according to leak tightness and associated checking methods.
Typically, pressure decay measurements are used for assessing the leak rates of containment enclosures, and helium is used as a trace gas for the detection of leak location.
The large volume of a chamber and flexibility of its components, such as gloves, can pose challenges for the pressure decay test.
Similarly, temperature changes can have a significant effect on results.
When using helium, the clearance time between tests can be significant.
Hydrogen testing can provide a useful alternative.
Hydrogen is rapidly dispersed, and offers a fast, effective alternative for the quantitative measurement and location of leaks.
MET's leak testing equipment and services are complimented by its medical device testing laboratory.
