Leak Tester

Regular leak tests are mandatory in aerosol research. A leak caused by a forgotten connection or defective o-ring may have a significant influence of the aerosol exposure process.

We recommend to carry out a leak test prior to the experiment and as part of the celaning or service routine.

The respective leakage rate is expressed in mm/60 s of fluid drop in the test column. If the instrument is connected to a closed system, this rate determines the amount of air entering the system from the outside as induces by a leak.
