HELIUM SNIFFING LEAK TIGHT TEST
Used with a helium leak detector, our hood clamshell tool is a device to test leak tight by helium sniffing. The hood clamshell tool is a CERN 's discovery (www.cern.ch). Its goal was to test the connexions of the LHC without tracing gas.
3S-Specialized Sealing Solutions propose this solution for industrial applications. The hood clamshell tool brings up many advantages :
- use in open circuit or under operation, test possible from first weld bead
- helium leak test by outside isolation, tracing gas is not mandatory
- portable device permits test on site and in workshop
- easy and fast to operate (less than 5 mins)
- test welds, junctions, open pipes
- thanks to the hood clamshell tool, it will be easier to manage your preventive maintenance.
LEAK CAPTURE
Another advantage of the hood clamshell tool is that it can also capture a leakage. Coupled to a secondary or storage circuit, the hood clamshell tool is ideal to limit a pollution by leakage and permit to hold until the next programmed maintenance. Moreover, we can produce hood clamshell tool resistant to very corrosive gas.
