Helium Mass spectrometer leak detector

High Vacuum Technology has been finding uses in increased number of industrial applications. Especially so, in the case of development of nuclear components which calls for a high degree of vacuum tightness and a reliable leak detection method which can detect minutest leak paths.

The technique adopted in this spectrometer and the selection of helium gas as the tracer, compliments each other. Helium is known for its nontoxic, non-hazardous, nondestructive, available plentiful, relatively inexpensive and its presence in the atmosphere is a negligible 5 ppm and has a low atmospheric partial pressure which enables helium to present a low background signal. These special characters enables helium to go through smallest leak paths without effecting parts or process and thus be able to leak detect easily, reliably and economically. The leak detectors can be used for testing and measuring vacuum integrity in products like: Automotive parts, Bellows, Beverage can and food containers, Pressurized fluids, Vacuum packed solids, Electronic Feedthroughs, Electron tubes, Glass to metal seals, Heat Exchangers, Hermetic seals, Medical devices, Nuclear components, Quartz crystal packages, Refrigeration parts, Relays, Semiconductor packages, Transducers, Vacuum Hardware, Vacuum switches and in Systems like Electronic microscopes, Evaporation coils, Freeze dryers, Ion implanters, Nuclear reactors, Vacuum evaporators and Vacuum furnaces.
