Leak Testing
Alicat flow and pressure instruments accurately characterize flow and leak test valves and thrusters. Devices are trusted in countless manufacturing processes including environment control, handling of coolants, and welding stations.
Validate systems with fast and accurate leak testing
To reliably leak test components, equipment must repeatably measure low flows.
- Multi-variable control. Maintain pressure and measure flow with one device, for all-in-one leak testing.
- Fast system stabilization. Low pressure drops minimize restriction and enables rapid pressure stabilization, for a leak test much faster than pressure decay testing.
- Reliable control and measurement. Repeatability ±(0.2% of reading + 0.02% of full scale) from 0.01% to 100% of full scale.
Applications
Using a single device for fast and simple leak testing
A single Alicat mass flow controller cancontrol pressure while monitoring flow rate, for a fast, simple way to validate small volumes and components.
Accurate, repeatable low flow detection
Alicat devices are accurate to ±0.5% of reading and ±0.1% of full scale, with 2σ repeatability of ±(0.1% of reading + 0.02% of full scale), for highly reliable leak tests.
