Sniffing Leak Testing - How to Use the Correct Flow
When: |
March 15, 2022 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â |
If you already do, or plan to do, leak testing with a gas sniffer, have you considered which sniffer flow is optimal for your application? Using the wrong sniffer flow can lead to missed leaks, false leaks and all sorts of incorrect readings that will slow your production speed down.
INFICON is the only supplier to offer a full range of sniffers from High Flow down to no flow. In our webinar, INFICON experts will guide you with both theoretical and practical flow-related tips that will improve your throughput, such as:
- High flow – amazing ability to catch leaks, but is your gas supply setup well prepared?
- Medium flow – resilient to many environments and types of operators
- Low flow – highly sensitive but also demanding
- No flow – the most robust solution in high background environments
Presenter: Per Jenneus, Application Engineer / Emre Germen, Product Manager

Leak testing of fuel cells and their components – An evolving market and leak testing standards
When: |
April 7, 2022 12 NN EDT / 9 AM PDT / 6 pm EST |
The automotive industry is currently facing several disruptive changes. The biggest transformation takes place in drive train technologies, from internal combustion engines (ICEs) to new drive technologies. Fuel cell vehicles are being discussed as one alternative, fuel saving technology, for passenger cars but also especially for heavy vehicles with a need for large driving range, like trucks.
This webinar will show you:
- Trends in fuel cell technology
- Which leak testing tasks are required for fuel cells and their components
- When to test throughout the value chain
- Standard operating procedures for leak testing of the different components of a fuel cell
- A detailed discussion of how to test bipolar plates for fuel cells
- Pitfalls to avoid in fuel cell leak testing
Presenter: Marc Blaufuss, Application Engineer

Leak Testing of Lithium-ion Battery Cells – Unique New Method for Reliable and Safe Batteries
When: |
May 5, 2022 12 NN EDT / 9 AM PDT / 6 pm EST |
Lithium-ion batteries are installed in many devices used in modern life: from drive batteries in electric, hybrid and fuel cell vehicles to mobile devices like smartphones and watches, to power tools or medical devices. The three things all lithium-ion batteries have in common is the need for reliability, safety and longevity. One means of assuring these is an appropriate way of testing lithium-ion batteries for leakage.
This webinar will show you:
- Failure modes for different types of battery cells
- How to derive a leak rate limit for the different battery cells
- When to test throughout the value chain
- The unique approach of direct electrolyte leak detection for finding leaks in lithium-ion battery cells
- How to implement this method in small and large scale production
Presenter: Dr. Yessica Brachthäuser, Application Engineer

Leak testing of automotive battery packs – avoiding costly recalls
When: |
June 2, 2022 11 am EDT / 8 AM PDT / 5 pm EST |
In the automotive industry, new electric vehicles marked releases are announced constantly. Cities or regions have announced to stop registration of new ICE cars within the next 10 years. At the same time, recalls of electric vehicles due to problems with battery packs are increasing. A reliable solution for leak testing of battery packs is required as part of the end-of-line quality control testing.
This webinar will show
- Failure modes and corresponding leak testing requirements for battery packs
- Leak testing methods suited for battery pack testing
- Standard operating procedures
- Tips & tricks as well as pitfalls to avoid
