Practical Application of Leak Detection Methods
H. F. McKinney · Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology · 1969
The 12 major leak detection methods that are commonly used are analyzed and discussed in this paper. Problem areas that are encountered when using these leak detection methods are also discussed. A brief discussion of the four main categories of system leakages is presented. Details of several representative leak detection programs are also presented and include both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Experimental experience is generalized in this paper in order to develop standardized application of various leak detection methods.
