PRESSURE LEAK TEST
It is good practice to run a leak test on the ADCS-601-AF after performing a setup or
maintenance operation that requires pressure fittings to be disconnected. The leak test can
quickly determine if the ADCS-601-AF is performing properly. A report detailing the status of the
individual portions of the leak test is provided upon test completion. The information in this report
is used to isolate leaks in the ADCS-601-AF system (see Figure 31).
To run a pressure leak test, first put in the ADCS-601-AF in absolute measurement mode
(see Section 4.2.3). After at least one hour in absolute mode, press the
[Leak Test]
button
on the
ADCS Run Screen Toolbar
(see Section 4.3.5.3). User confirmation is required to
ensure that there are no DUTs connected to the ADCS-601-AF that cannot support the leak
test pressure. During the leak test, pressures of 375 kPa (110.7 inHg) and 15 kPa (4.4 inHg)
are set.
Do not attempt to run a leak test until the ADCS-601-AF has been in absolute
measurement mode for at least 1 hour. The residual vacuum reference can change
significantly during the first hour of absolute measurement mode operation after
transitioning from gauge measurement mode. This change in pressure can cause the leak
test to fail.
There are three parts to the leak test: PG7601 drop rate test, residual vacuum test and FPG
lubrication flow test. If any part of the leak test fails, the overall leak test fails.
The PG7601 drop rate portion of the leak test sets a high and low pressure with the PG7601.
After stability is achieved the change in piston position over a 30s interval is used to
determine the drop rate of the piston-cylinder. The recorded drop rates are compared to
factory defined drop rate limits to determine a PASS/FAIL status. A high piston drop rate
indicates a leak in the pressure circuit that interconnects the TEST(+) port, the PG7601 and
the PG7601 pressure controller.
The residual vacuum portion of the leak test records the FPG8601 and PG7601 vacuum
reference sensor outputs when the FPG8601 bypass valve is closed. The residual vacuum
test is executed during the high pressure portion of the PG7601 drop rate test. The recorded
residual vacuum pressures and the difference between them must fall below factory
determined limits to pass the residual vacuum portion of the leak test. The residual vacuum
test fails when a leak into the vacuum reference circuit is present.
The FPG8601 lubrication flow portion of the leak test is executed while the PG7601 drop rate
test is setting the high pressure. In this test, the FPG8601 bypass valve is closed to monitor
the rate of increase in the FPG8601 pressure due to the lubrication flow. Without pressure
control, the FPG8601 pressure increases as a result of the FPG8601 lubrication flow when
the FPG8601 bypass valve is closed. The change in the indicated FPG8601 pressure is
recorded over a 30s interval to determine the pressure rate of change caused by the
lubrication flow. The recorded value must fall below factory defined limits to pass the
