Sealed, welded components are placed in this "bomb" pressure vessel for several hours in a Helium atmosphere. At the end of this "soak", they are placed in a Helium Leak Detector which will detect if there is any leakage indicated by the presence of Helium leaking out of the component.

A Helium Leak Detector with a sensitivity in the 1X10-10 std cc/sec range. The machine has a built-in standard leak, traceable to National Standards which allows Electron Beam Engineering to certify all parts requiring hermetic sealing and leak testing.

Welding inspection and testing is vital to the overall weld quality assurance of your component or part .Welding inspection and testing assures weldments are properly machined, ensuring that the weldment performs precisely as specified.
