Course content

Participants will learn to understand and create testing specifications for mass-produced components. They will gain practical experience in performing appropriate test methods. However, participants will not be trained on further steps for localizing leaks in mass-produced components.

Fundamentals

Terms and definitions in the field of leak detection technology
How detectors and devices work
Physical fundamentals
Methods of leak testing
a) at overpressure (Micro-Flow)
b) at atmospheric pressure (sniffing, accumulation method)
c) under vacuum (helium spraying, integral and partial vacuum method)
Exemplary calculations of leakage rates as a function of flow through the leak, operating and test medium, pressure, and temperature
How practical specification can be created
Practical use of helium leak detection in different areas such as coating systems, large-scale research, and heat exchangers
Use of different test gases in leak detection

Applications

Presentation of selected test methods according to DIN EN 1779
Hands-on training using common test methods.
Influence of environmental parameters: materials, temperature, humidity, conductance, outgassing etc.
Localization of leaks in mass-produced components
Application examples of learned test methods
Testing of components provided by the participants (by prior arrangement)
