Able to detect very low leakrates

With a Microflown a pressurized surface is scanned. With this method very small leaks can be detected (down to several microns). Leak rates are competetive to those of Helium systems.

Locates leak position

Due to the scanning technique, the position of the leak is found directly.

Fast

The response time of the method is in milliseconds.

No tracer gas required

Where other existing methods require Helium or the flamable hydrogen, the Microflown method uses normal air.

Low overpressure required

Only a few Bar overpressure is required for operation, therefore no special pumps are resuired.

Easy to integrate

The method is easy to integrate because no special gasses are required and the method works with a low overpressure. The sensor to detect the leaks is extremely small.

Possible to use by hand

In some cases welds or closures are manualy made and have to be chacked. With the Microflown method this can be manualy done.
