INFICON Receives Technology & Design Awards

The distinguished trade publication R&D Magazine recently recognized T-Guard™ Leak Detection Sensor as one of the 100 most technologically significant new products and processes for 2010. The annual R&D 100 Award banquet, held in Orlando, Florida, is attended by over 600 scientists and technologies from around the world.

INFICON T-Guard enables highly repeatable helium leak detection without the use of vacuum chambers. Numerous parts from the automotive industry can be tested by T-Guard, replacing the inferior methods of pressure decay (also known as air leak testing) and water bath.
