We bridge the gap between “buying a box” and “solving a problem,” offering the technical support and calibration expertise to make your testing defensible.

The Industry Leaders we Distribute & Integrate

Inficon / Sensistor: When “Small” Leaks are a Big Problem

The “Why”: If your product carries refrigerants, hydrogen, or high-pressure fuels, a “minor” leak isn’t just a failure—it’s a liability. Traditional air testing often lacks the sensitivity to detect the microscopic paths that these gases can find.

The “When”: Use Inficon/Sensistor technology when you need to detect leaks at a molecular level. Whether you need a standalone sniffer for rework or a high-speed sensor integrated into an automated cell, these systems ensure your containment is absolute.

O-Weld: The Future of Precision Brazing

The “Why”: Traditional oxy-acetylene setups are bulky, expensive, and introduce safety risks with stored gas cylinders. Inconsistent flame quality leads to weak joints—the primary cause of leaks in HVAC and electrical assemblies.

The “When”: Switch to O-Weld when you want to simplify your shop floor. By generating high-energy gas from water on-demand, you get a cleaner, more consistent flame that virtually eliminates “dry joints” and brazing defects, ensuring your product passes its leak test the first time.

Optimeasure Proprietary Solutions

OptiBurst: Compliance Without the Complexity

The “Why”: You shouldn’t have to pay for a £20k NDT system just to find out at what pressure a bag pops. Many medical and food packaging manufacturers are over-complicating their QC labs with multi-function machines that are difficult to calibrate and even harder to use.

The “When”: Use OptiBurst when you need a dedicated, no-nonsense tool for ASTM F1140 burst testing. It is the cost-effective “point-and-shoot” solution for testing the ultimate strength of flexible packaging, giving you the exact data you need without the unnecessary software bloat.

OptiVac: The Ultimate Visual “Reality Check”

The “Why”: Sometimes, even the most expensive sensor can be fooled by a “stretchy” pack or high background noise. You need a way to physically see where a seal is failing without destroying the product or creating a mess.

The “When”: Deploy OptiVac for immediate spot-checks on the production line. By using a controlled vacuum to force air out of submerged seals, it provides an undeniable visual stream of bubbles from any leak point. It is the most reliable way to verify seal integrity in food pouches and medical trays where visual confirmation is the gold standard for quality.

Overview

Optibox is designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial leak detection, offering a high-precision solution for ensuring product integrity. Engineered to match specific process requirements, it delivers reliable and repeatable performance for applications ranging from air pressure decay testing to functional checks. This aligns with our core mission to provide optimised measurement solutions that directly improve quality and safety across the manufacturing sector.

As part of our wider product portfolio, Optibox is backed by decades of application expertise and our in-house technical support team. Whether integrated into a larger bespoke system or utilized as a standalone unit for production support, it is fully supported by our structured service and calibration packages. This ensures that your critical testing equipment remains compliant, accurate, and effective throughout its operational lifecycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does pressure and vacuum machinery require traceability to national standards?

Traceability ensures that the measurements recorded by your machinery are consistent with the International System of Units (SI). In highly regulated sectors like medical device manufacturing (ISO 13485) or food safety, "pass" or "fail" results must be legally and scientifically defensible. By calibrating your machinery to national standards, you provide an unbroken chain of evidence that your testing is accurate, protecting your business from the risks of product recalls and regulatory non-compliance.

What are the key considerations in any vacuum or pressure testing application?

When designing a testing application, three critical factors must be addressed:

Measurement Sensitivity: Ensuring the sensors are capable of detecting the specific allowable criteria for your components.

Cycle Time and Throughput: Balancing the "soak time" required for a stable reading with the production speed required by your facility.

What is the calibration interval for vacuum and/or pressure gauges?

The standard industry recommendation for calibration is every 12 months. However, this interval can vary depending on the criticality of the application and the environment in which the machinery operates. In high-stakes medical or aerospace environments, or if the machinery is subject to heavy vibration or extreme pressure cycles, a 6-month interval may be required to ensure the equipment remains within its specified tolerance. Optimeasure provides full support in establishing these calibration schedules as part of your quality management system.
