Fundamentals
Terms and definitions in the field of leak detection technology
Why helium is used as a tracer gas
How detectors and devices work
Methods of leak testing:
a) At atmospheric pressure (sniffing, accumulation method)
b) Under vacuum (helium spraying, integral and partial vacuum method)Exemplary calculations of leakage rates as a function of flow through the leak, operating and test medium, pressure, temperature
Practical application of helium leak detection tasks in different areas (coating systems, large-scale research, heat exchanger)
Use of different test gases in leak detection
Practical application
Presentation of selected test methods according to DIN EN 1779
Practical exercises of common test methods
Influence of environmental parameters: materials, temperature, humidity, conductance, outgassing, etc.
Application examples of test methods learned
Real-time graphs of signals from a leak detector and their interpretation
Testing of components of the seminar participants (by prior arrangement)
