F6 CLASS : TECHNOLOGY

By far the most popular technology, differential pressure decay uses a reference volume to test your part. This helps compensate for any ambient pressure or temperature variations as they occur on both parts simultaneously.
Only a leak on the test part will result in a movement of our transducer’s membrane.

The second advantage of this method is that the accuracy does not drop with the test pressure as the transducer is measuring pressure differences between the two circuits, as opposed to the traditional pressure decay technology that measures pressure drops against the atmosphere.

Direct measurement principle
The part under test 3 and the reference part 5 are filled to an identical pressure. A differential sensor 4 measures the pressure variation between the part under test  3 and the reference part 5. In some applications, the reference part can be replaced by a cap.

Desensitized test
This  mode  is  used  for  the  measurement  of  large  leaks,  when  the  reject  level  required  is above the full scale of the differential sensor.
The  test  pressure  is  applied  to  the  input  of  the  part  under  test  3.  The  measurement  is performed by the pressure sensor 2.

Other type of tests are available in option
