About leak detection
GB 04269 - Edition 05 - July 12
The part is placed under a
cover, into which helium is
injected.
The leak cannot be located.
Potential leaking areas are
sprayed with helium.
The leak can be located.

Response time
When spraying starts, the leak signal is not displayed instantaneously
on the analyzer cell:
there is a response time which depends on the volume V being
tested and the helium pumping speed S of the system at the opening
of the part, according to the following relation:
T = V/S (T in second, V in litre, S in l/s)
T is the time required for the signal to reach 63 % of the final value.
The detector measures the flow of helium penetrating the part.
Connection rules: refer to
B 300
This involves removing air from the part tested, connecting it to the
analyzer cell and then spraying helium over the outer surface.
