Is Water Bath Testing Really Efficient?
Do you
believe water bath testing can detect leaks down to the 10-4 ...
10-5 mbar l/s range?
Some people contend
that water bath testing can detect leaks down to the 10-4 ...
10-5 mbar l/s range - is this true? Watch our "Water
Bubble" video. It shows that even under ideal conditions, water
bath tests detect leaks only down to
the 10-3 mbar l/s range.
In real life situations, such as the
demonstration of the heat exchanger shown in the "Water Bubble" video,
the actual detection limit goes up to the E0... E-1 mbar l/s range.
In comparison, helium leak detection,
even in sniffer mode, reliably detects leaks down to the 10-6 mbar
l/s range.
