  • Page 33: Procedure Of A Tightness Test

    Test pressure Test pressure Automatic measuring time The ProofMaster has a new evaluation algorithm which detects elastic deformation of watches and automatically compensates them. In the standard setting, the ProofMaster automatically determines the required measuring time for each measurement. The software continues the measurement until a meaningful result is obtained.

  • Page 34: Definitions

    Description Definitions Deformation measurement The measuring method of the ProofMaster is based on the principle of deformation. The watch is subjected to positive pressure to compress the watch housing, or a vacuum to expand it. The faster the deformation is compensated, the larger the leak in the watch case. The deformation of the case within a certain time serves as the basis for the measurement to determine whether the watch is leakproof or not.

  • Page 35: Reference To Standard Iso 22810

    A negative leak rate can be caused by a number of factors, e.g.: • Elastic deformation of the test specimen; • Thermal influences. Over a longer measurement duration, the ProofMaster measurement algorithm compensates for these influences and displays a more accurate result. This makes it more reliable and faster than an algorithm used for conventional deformation measurement.

  • Page 36: Use

    Safety during use Cracked glass CAUTION Risk of injury from cracked glass! The positive pressure can penetrate into leaking watches during the test. If this is the case, the interior of the watches will be under pressure after the test. The glass in the watch can then splinter or crack. It can cause serious eye injuries and even blindness.
