  • Page 15: Preamble

    PREAMBLE 1. DEFINITION OF THE ATEQ F580 The ATEQ F580 is a compact air/air leak detector used to control the air-tightness of parts on production lines. It is especially adapted to manual and semi-automatic workbenches. The method used is based on the measurement of a small variation or drop in differential pressure between both the test and reference parts, when both are filled with an identical pressure.

  • Page 16: Measurement Characteristics

    50 kPa to 500 kPa 50 kPa to 800 kPa 100 kPa to 1000 kPa 50 kPa to 1600 kPa 100 kPa to 1600 kPa 100 kPa to 2000 kPa For other specific pressures please contact ATEQ. UM-18400E-U ATEQ F580 User manual Page 6/168...

  • Page 17: The Main Types Of Measurements

    After filling the test and reference parts with the required level of pressure, the instrument measures the differential pressure between the two volumes, which, are separated by the equalisation valve. At the end of a cycle, the ATEQ empties the components via the dump valve. 3.2. I NDIRECT...

    This method is also used for distortable parts and parts with a constant temperature which is different to the TEST PART ambient temperature. The central naught test offers a considerable time advantage (two parts tested simultaneously). UM-18400E-U ATEQ F580 User manual Page 8/168...

At the end of the fill time, The fill time the ATEQ instrument controls the test pressure, if this is not correct, it will signal a test pressure error. Test and reference parts are completely cut off from the air supply, but are pressurised to the test pressure level.
