What is helium leak testing?

Battery: In the energy industry, helium leak testing is used to test the integrity of the battery pack, battery housing, and even pouches and cells to prevent leaks and ensure safety. Military: In military applications, helium leak testing is vital for ensuring the reliability of weapons systems, communication equipment, and vehicles.

How do I use helium sniffing leak testing equipment?

Fill / charge the internal volume with helium. Only a small pressure is required, e.g. 2-3 psig Examples of previous helium leak testing equipment supplied by TQC are shown in our case studies. TQC can provide helium sniffing leak test solutions for all types of components in a variety of different industry applications.

Can a mass spectrometer detect helium leak?

In most helium leak testing applications, a mass spectrometer is used to detect helium. Although, it is also possible to use a residual gas analyser. Helium leak testing can generally be between one thousand and one million times more sensitive than using pressure decay techniques. What are the benefits of Helium Leak Testing?
