Advanced technology for leak testing now provides opportunities to improve quality and save money even in applications where expensive helium systems are customary. As the price of helium rises and supply runs short, modern manufacturing must stay abreast of the realities and economics of leak testing or profits and customers may evaporate.
Because manufacturing has become so complex and fast-paced, process trends need to be rapidly identified for defects and deviations. Choosing the best leak testing method for a given application has grown in importance. Sound choices bring down costs, improve yields, and minimize risks.
