Mcmaster, R C

This volume on Leak Testing contains information on a wide variety of leak testing methods and their techniques, theory, equipment, procedures, and examples of applications that have been developed over the past several decades. Its contents will be helpful to those presently engaged in leak testing, those developing leak testing training programs, and those participating in leak testing training at all levels of competency. Attention is given to gaseous tracers used in leak testing, reference standard gaseous leaks, safety aspects of leak testing, pressure change and flow rate techniques for determining leakage rates, vacuum technology and leak testing of vacumm equipment, techniques of bubble emission leak testing, and techniques of helium mass spectrometer leak testing. Mass spectrometer instrumentation for leak testing is considered along with techniques of leak testing with halogen tracer gases, techniques of leak testing using ultrasonic vibration detectors, techniques of leak testing of hermetic seals and electronic devices, and applications of leak testing in the nuclear power industry.
