USE OF AN ION PUMP AS A LEAK DETECTOR
A cold cathode gas discharge ion pump was used as a leak detector and found to operate satisfactorily. Argon, helium, oxygen, and hydrogen were used effectively as probe gases with argon usually giving the greatest response. Leaks from 10/sup -/s to 10/sup -/s std cc/sec could be located in a few minutes and leaks as small as 10/sup -/s/sup 0/ std cc/sec or 10/sup -/s - liter/sec could be detected. (auth)
