VACUUM TUBE LEAK TESTER
SAPSONS Vacuum Tube Leak Tester is a precision tool, often used for boilers, condensers, and heat exchangers, that detects leaks by creating a vacuum within a tube and monitoring the pressure gauge; a steady reading means no leak, while a dropping gauge indicates a leak, allowing for quick identification of faulty tubes for repair or replacement.
How It Works
- Principle : The device connects to a tube that sucks air out to create a vacuum and then holds that
- Detection : A connected gauge shows the vacuum level; if the reading stays constant, the tube is sealed. If the gauge needle drops, it signifies air entering through a leak.
- Application : It’s a fast, accurate, non-destructive method for locating leaks in tubular equipment, preventing costly issues.
Description
The SAPSONS Vacuum Tube Leak Tester is a portable instrument designed to quickly identify leaking tubes in tubular equipment. It is commonly used during maintenance shutdowns to locate tubes that need plugging or replacement.
Working principle :
- One end of the tube is sealed.
- The tester is connected to the other end.
- Compressed air creates a vacuum inside the tube.
- The vacuum gauge is observed:
- Stable vacuum: Tube is leak-free.
- Dropping vacuum: Tube has a leak.
Typical specifications :
- Tube size range: 1/4 in. to 3 in. OD (6.3–76.2 mm)
- Air supply required: 90 psi (approximately 6 bar)
- Built-in analog vacuum gauge
- Interchangeable tube seals for different tube diameters
- Portable and easy to operate
- Tool weight: approximately 2 kg (4.4 lb)
Applications :
- Surface condensers
- Shell-and-tube heat exchangers
- Chillers
- Boilers
- Evaporators
- Process cooling equipment
Advantages :
- Fast leak detection
- No need to fill the equipment with water
- Suitable for testing multiple tube sizes with one instrument
- Simple operation and lightweight design
- Helps quickly identify damaged tubes during maintenance
The SAPSONS Vacuum Tube Leak Tester is a portable device used to detect leaks in tubes of heat exchangers, condensers, boilers, chillers, and similar equipment. It works by creating a vacuum inside a sealed tube using compressed air and monitoring the vacuum gauge. A stable vacuum indicates a leak-free tube, while a falling vacuum indicates a leak.Top of Form
