Leak testing has become a major aspect of many processes in a wide range
of industries, from castings to crisp packets. But it seems it is often
shrouded in "secret formulas" and specialist knowledge, known only to
the leak test manufacturers.
Have you ever asked:
- What is my leak specification?
- Can I set up my air pressure tester myself?
- How do I check/calibrate my leak test machine?
- Would a helium test be better?
- Why is my leak test failing good parts?
- What are the problems I need to be aware of?
- Who can I ask for honest help and advice?
Many of you will already know the wealth of knowledge the author brings
to this subject, and how he makes even the complicated easy to
understand. Now retired from industry, Barry wanted to share his
knowledge with anyone who wants to be an expert in this field or simply
has an interest and wants to know more.
With this easy-to-follow guide, you can call on all of Barry's vast
experience in all aspects of leak testing, including air under water,
pressure decay, flow measurement, helium leak testing, gas sniffers and
many more.
The book guides you through all you need to know, from the basic
mathematics, through developing your leak specifications, selection and
setting up your leak test, right through to fault diagnosis and
effective maintenance.
Leak Testing Made Easy does exactly what it says, taking the mystery of
the subject, and making it simple and practical to understand, with many
pictorial examples, along with lots of practical analogies to common-day
things that you already know about.
Packed with look-up tables and charts, this book is a must for any
specifiers and users of leaks and leak testing equipment, or simply for
those who would like to know more.
