VeriPac 325/LV Leak Test Sequence of Events

Leak Test Sequence of EventsPackage FAILSPackage PASSES
1An initial vacuum flush is performed to remove any surface moisture or gas contaminants from the test systemNANA
2A target vacuum is established, as monitored by the absolute transducerVacuum 1 Reference or Vacuum 2 Reference is not reached Test ABORTS (gross failure)Target vacuum reaches Vacuum 1 Reference and Vacuum 2 Reference
3Valves close isolating the test system from the vacuum source. The system is allowed to stabilize or “equalize”NANA
4The absolute transducer monitors the rise in pressure during equalization and test timeAbsolute pressure reading rises above Vacuum 2 Reference Test ABORTS (gross failure)Absolute pressure remains at or below Vacuum 2 Reference
5The differential transducer monitors the rise in pressure (dP) during test timeDifferential pressure reading rises above dP Reference Package FAILSDifferential pressure remains at or below dP Reference Package PASSES
