Testing Methods

Tracer gas leak detection methods cover a wide range of more than 12 decades of sensitivity. Alcatel's detector technologies are well-adapted to any leak detection task within this range. Let it be integral measurements or local pinpointing of leaks, leak detection on pressurised parts or parts under vacuum, test of the whole object or just parts of it – you will find the right product for any of these tasks within our portfolio.

In order to identify the optimum solution for your leak detection task:

• select the correct flow direction for the test. If possible use the flow direction of the object's real life direction.
• define the area of leak detection – test the whole object or just a part of it?
• select between integral measurement within a specific leak specification or leak locating for exactly planned repair.
• choose the appropriate method from the following overview.
