Calibrated leak

The standard leak is a high-precision accessory designed to validate and ensure traceability of results from leak measurement instruments. It verifies instrument accuracy by introducing a known, controlled artificial leak into the test circuit.

Operating principle

• Installed in parallel on the test circuit.
• Introduces a precise, controlled artificial leak (value known with high accuracy) into the system.
• Allows verification that the leak tester displays the exact value of the simulated leak, confirming calibration and correct operation.
• The standard leak is not a standard spare part; it is treated as a precision instrument.

Manufacturing and traceability

• Manufactured to order according to the specific criteria of the part under test (pressure range, volume and required leak rate).
• Each standard leak is supplied with its own calibration certificate, ensuring measurement traceability and compliance with quality standards.

Characteristics / technical specifications

• Use: metrological validation of leak measurement instruments.
• Mounting: parallel installation on the test circuit.
• Function: introduction of a precise, controlled artificial leak for verification and calibration.
• Manufacturing: custom according to pressure range, volume and leak rate.
• Certificate: supplied with calibration certificate for traceability.
• Status: precision instrument (not a standard spare part).
