From e-vehicles to consumer electronics and implantable medical devices, standards and expectations for the quality and reliability of sealed devices and components continue to rise. This puts the burden on manufacturers to employ methods of leak testing that are objective, reliable and repeatable.

Production leak testing can mean a lot of different things, and if you are not familiar with this branch of nondestructive testing, the choices of methodologies and techniques can seem a bit daunting.

Leak testing is a broad term that includes a multitude of technologies. For the purposes of this article, different leak test methods will be referenced but not described in full detail. 

Leak testing is a quality control measure used by manufacturers to identify product inconsistencies that occur during manufacturing or assembly.

Electromobility is currently one of the most significant trends worldwide, and it is destined to change the way people purchase vehicles, travel and enjoy their leisure time.

Leak testing is a method of product quality control that identifies manufacturing inconsistencies by porosity testing a manufactured part or system leaks. 

Information technology and digitalization gain importance.

For a broad range of automotive, medical and other products, leak testing requirements before products are released to the marketplace have not changed. What has changed in recent years is several new technologies—some related to data handling and the Industrial Internet of Things and others relating to test techniques—that now change the calculus of determining best-match solutions for leak testing.
