Page 9 A 100 Presentation The ASM 380 is the moving adixen leak detector at dry pumping, high performance, for the maintenance of high technology environment. Compact and greater mobility to come closer to tested system. Combination of high performance pumpings allowing to reduce the test time on large volumes.
Page 10 A 200 About leak detection Overview Leak detection is used to detect micro-openings, porosities, permeation through materials etc. The means of detection is a tracer gas: Helium. This gas is so light that it can penetrate microscopic cracks very fast. The analyzer cell measures helium partial pressure created by helium molecules that come from the leaking parts.
Page 11 A 200 About leak detection Vacuum circuit of a The general vacuum diagram of the leak detector is shown below. A dynamic version of the vacuum diagram is available on the leak leak detector detector display panel. Green valves indicate opened valves. Red valves indicate closed valves.
Page 12 A 200 About leak detection Test method Choice Several test methods are possible. The testing method is selected according to the test part and the measurement range required: The part can be connected to an The part is sealed evacuation line Its characteristics Its characteristics allow it to be...
Page 13 A 200 About leak detection Spray method This involves removing air from the part tested, connecting it to the analyzer cell and then spraying helium over the outer surface. Global test Spray test part spray probe START START STAND-BY STAND-BY part detector detector...
Page 14 A 200 About leak detection Sniffing method The test part is pressurized with helium. The detector, via a sniffer probe samples the helium escaping from the part. Global test is generally kept for gross leaks (> 10 mbar l/s). In 90 % of uses, the sniffing method is used in local.
Page 15 A 200 About leak detection Bombing method This method is used for sealed objects that cannot be connected directly to the detector (semiconductors, waterproof watches, etc.). START STAND-BY part part detector Chamber 1 Chamber 2 The part is placed in a chamber containing pressurized helium. The helium penetrates the part if it has a leak.
Page 16 A 200 About leak detection Analyzer cell operating principle Description The analyzer cell works on the principle of mass spectrometry and is set by default to the mass of helium (m/e = 4). Other gasses can be used (helium 3 or hydrogen). m/e = atomic mass of the particle/number of electrons lost on ionization.
Page 17 A 200 About leak detection The iridium filament allows a good performance at high pressures and a small overheating. These ionized particles are accelerated by an electrical field. They arrive in a zone subjected to a magnetic field which has the property of deflecting the trajectories of the ions along different curves according to the masses of those ions (to be more preceded, according to their m/e ratios).
Page 18 A 200 About leak detection About helium and hydrogenated nitrogen Helium Helium is the second most common element in the universe, representing about 23 % of the total matter. 76 % is Hydrogen. All other elements represent an insignificantly small fraction of the total.
Page 19 A 200 About leak detection Hydrogenated nitrogen If Hydrogen (H ) and Oxygen (O ) are mixed and heated, they react and create water vapor (H O). During this process more heat is generated which may (if the concentration is high enough) ignite the surrounding gas.
