Considering Air Leak Testing?
When it comes to detecting leaks, different applications require specific approaches. Air leak testing is a suitable option for identifying large, liquid leaks in certain scenarios. It offers lower equipment costs but generally operates at a slower test speed compared to tracer-gas leak testing.
At LACO, we have honed our expertise in tracer-gas leak testing and chosen to focus exclusively on this method. While we no longer offer air leak test solutions, we have discovered that many applications previously reliant on air leak testing achieve superior results with tracer-gas leak testing.
Tracer gas leak testing is particularly well-suited for applications that demand shorter cycle times, robust results, testing of large parts, and high test pressures. Unlike other methods, tracer gas testing remains unaffected by factors such as volume/size, non-rigidity of the test part, or temperature changes. It ensures reliable and accurate leak detection.
As experts in tracer-gas leak detection, LACO provides a range of leak testing solutions utilizing helium, hydrogen, and multi-gas RGA-based testing. Our methods can detect a wide array of gases and vapors, including refrigerants, argon, and more. Helium, being one of the most commonly used tracer gases for leak testing, is efficiently employed by LACO, as we have developed cost-effective techniques to recover and reuse used helium.
We would be delighted to consult with you regarding your specific leak-testing requirements and assist you in determining the most suitable and effective leak-test method for your needs.
