Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why Helium?
A. Helium is a non-flammable, colorless, odorless gas. Its concentration in the atmosphere is 5-50 ppm. Its small molecular size and ease of quantitative detectability make it an ideal medium for leak detection.
Q. Why use a helium leak detector?
A. Helium leak detection offers unparalleled sensitivity for finding leaks. It is quantitative, giving an accurate measurement of the rate of a leak, as opposed to the pass/fail results obtained with a dye penetration or vacuum bubble test.
Q. How sensitive is it?
A. Helium leak testers offer a sensitivity of 1 x 10-10cc/s.
Q. Who uses helium leak detectors?
A. Our clients include pharmaceutical companies such as Merck, Pfizer, Schering-Plough, Johnson & Johnson, and Novartis.
