Technical News 15/07/2024 The helium leak test - an indispensable procedure in leak testing

Get a deeper insight into a special leak test method that we use ourselves here at our company: the helium leak test.

In our last "Good to KNOW" article, we emphasised the importance of leak testing in industrial applications. Today, we would like to give you a deeper insight into a special method that we use ourselves at Goetze KG Armaturen: the helium leak test.

Why helium?
Due to its small atomic size, this noble gas is ideal for reliably detecting even microscopically small leaks. In this process, helium is introduced into the system to be sealed as a trace gas. Every escape of the gas from the system, no matter how small, is detected by our highly sensitive sensors, enabling precise localisation and assessment of leaks.

Our test bench: state-of-the-art technology on site
We have a modern helium leak test bench at our site in Ludwigsburg. This enables us to test products under real conditions and ensure that they fully fulfil your requirements in terms of quality and safety.

Whether for standard applications or customised solutions - our helium leak test stands for maximum precision. Find out more about our technologies and how we can optimise the performance of your systems.
