Air Leak Testing

Pressure and vacuum decay leak testing instruments, systems, calibration and service.

Overview

At Optimeasure, we provide high-precision air leak testing systems designed to validate product integrity and ensure total peace of mind for manufacturers and test houses. Operating strictly to the EN 1779 standard, our solutions utilise advanced pressure differential, vacuum differential, and flow testing methodologies to detect even the most minute defects. Our systems are engineered to bridge the gap between lab-grade accuracy and high-volume production, providing quantitative data that subjective “dunk tests” cannot match.

Whether you are looking to prove environmental resilience for rugged electronics or verify the hermetic seals of critical packaging, our technology is a vital component in achieving IP66 and IP67 ingress protection ratings. By simulating real-world environmental pressures, Optimeasure systems allow you to mathematically guarantee that your product will withstand high-pressure water jets or temporary submersion without the mess or risk of destructive water testing.

Beyond industrial enclosures, we specialise in the highly regulated sectors of medical and food packaging. Our systems help manufacturers comply with ASTM F1140, providing the burst and creep testing required to ensure sterile barrier integrity and long-term shelf stability. From standalone manual test stations to fully automated, high-throughput assembly line integrations, we build our machines to meet your specific requirements—ensuring your quality control is as simple or as sophisticated as your process demands.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Air leak testing is the industry standard for high-volume production environments where speed, cleanliness, and cost-effectiveness are paramount. It is best used when:

Production Speed is Critical: Air-based methods like pressure decay offer rapid cycle times suitable for 100% in-line testing.
The Object is Dry/Sealed: You need to test electronics, automotive components, or packaging that would be damaged by liquid-based "bubble" tests

Quantifiable Pass/Fail Data is Required: You need digital, traceable records of leak rates for quality auditing or regulatory compliance (e.g., IP67 or ASTM F1140).
To ensure your data is defensible, Optimeasure systems are calibrated using an unbroken chain of comparison to national and international standards. This is achieved by:

Traceable Leak Standards: We use precision orifices (Calibrated Leak Masters) that have a certified, known leak rate at a specific pressure, traceable to national standards.

Regular Verification: The system is programmed to perform daily or shift-based self-checks against these master leaks, ensuring the sensors remain accurate between formal annual calibrations.
While tracer gas (such as Helium or Hydrogen) offers extreme sensitivity for micro-leaks, air leak testing is often the superior choice for:

Cost Management: Air is free and requires no specialized recovery or venting systems, making the "cost per test" significantly lower.

Simplicity and Safety: Air testing avoids the complexities of gas handling, concentration monitoring, and potential flammability risks associated with some tracer gases.

Larger Leak Detection: If your tolerance for leakage is within the range detectable by pressure decay (~1e-2 mbar l/s), air testing provides a more robust and faster solution without the "background noise" issues often found in high-sensitivity gas testing.
