Vacuum Tube Leak Tester
The SAPSONS Vacuum Tube Leak Tester provides a fast and practical method for identifying leaking tubes without filling the complete equipment with water. By creating a vacuum inside an isolated tube and observing the vacuum gauge, maintenance personnel can quickly determine whether a tube is leaking and needs plugging, repair, or replacement. Its portable construction, multiple tube-size capability, and simple operating principle make it particularly useful during plant maintenance and shutdown activities.
Description
The SAPSONS Vacuum Tube Leak Tester is a portable tube-testing instrument designed to quickly detect leaks in individual tubes used in heat exchangers, condensers, boilers, chillers, evaporators, and other tubular equipment. It works by sealing one end of the tube and using compressed air to create a vacuum inside it. The built-in vacuum gauge is then monitored: a stable vacuum indicates a leak-free tube, while a dropping vacuum indicates leakage.
Key Features
- Portable and lightweight design, approximately 2 kg.
- Suitable for tube sizes from 1/4 inch to 3 inches OD (6.3–76.2 mm).
- Requires approximately 90 psi (6 bar) compressed air.
- Built-in analog vacuum gauge for easy monitoring.
- Interchangeable tube seals accommodate different tube diameters.
- Simple operation and suitable for maintenance and shutdown inspections.
Applications
The tester is useful for leak detection in:
- Surface condensers
- Shell-and-tube heat exchangers
