Preamble ATEQ F670, AN UNIVERSAL LEAK TESTER 6/42 ATEQ F670 is a leak detector that tests the airtightness of parts. ATEQ F670 can memorise 128 different test programs. QSG_F670_363.00_EN_01_2021-02-09...
LEAK TEST Direct measurement principle The part under test 3 and the reference part 5 are filled to an identical pressure. A differential sensor 4 measures the pressure variation between the part under test 3 and the reference part 5. In some applications, the reference part can be replaced by 7/42 a cap.
PRINCIPLE OF A CYCLE The measurement cycle is made of 4 main phases: fill, stabilization, test, dumping. A Pressure auto zero additional phase 0 can be placed at the start or at the end of a cycle, depending on the requirement of the operator. 8/42 0 Waiting phase 1 Fill phase...
