Your choice of leak test method and technology can make a substantial difference in the results of your test, affecting your throughput, repeatability, product quality, and cost.

Leak testing, which has always been essential in the automotive industry for ensuring the manufacture of quality parts and components, is taking on added importance in the mobility age.

Leak testing helps manufacturers boost quality without unnecessary costs. It enables them to improve their production process, ensuring efficient assembly and minimizes scrap, delays, and cycle times.  

Automakers in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and the United States are struggling with performance and safety issues associated with electric and hybrid-electric cars.

Helium is in short supply and its cost is rising. Global sources may even run dry by the end of the century. And yet, it remains the dominant choice for trace-gas-based leak-testing on the production line. How can you make the most of this increasingly precious commodity for your critical quality assurance needs?

Since the early 1990s Lithium ion batteries have entered industrial markets as energy storage technology for mobile consumer electronics and battery-operated tools.

From e-vehicles to consumer electronics and implantable medical devices, standards and expectations for the quality and reliability of sealed devices and components continue to rise. This puts the burden on manufacturers to employ methods of leak testing that are objective, reliable and repeatable.

Production leak testing can mean a lot of different things, and if you are not familiar with this branch of nondestructive testing, the choices of methodologies and techniques can seem a bit daunting.
