John Morris Scientific has introduced the ASM 310, Adixen's general-purpose portable helium leak-detector.
The ASM 310 can find leaks as small as 5 x 10-12 mbar.L/s in vacuum-test mode.
It is portable, weighs only 21kg and features an oil-free vacuum system.
The ASM 310 features a colour touch-screen with easy parameter settings and has multiple read-out and protocol functions such as graphical leak-signal and trend indication.
The test data is stored onto SD memory cards and can also be recorded using the ASM View free software.
A vacuum diagram shows the status of all major components such as vacuum pumps, valves and analyser cells.
The ASM 310 uses a contact-free operating diaphragm-pump to back its molecular drag-pump.
The low rotational speed of the included turbo molecular pump protects against accidental air inrush and allows the leak detector to be moved during testing.
The dry vacuum-system and low rotational speed of the turbo molecular pump means the leak detector requires little maintenance.
The Adixen ASM 310 has two filaments built into the analyser cell as standard, ensuring uninterrupted operation if a filament breaks.
The typical lifetime for the filament is three years.
Filaments can be replaced without the need for special tools.
