The Pfeiffer Adixen ASM 182 T is a fully-automatic, multi-purpose helium leak detector. The ASM 182 T system incorporates a 130 L/S hybrid turbomolecular high vacuum pump, with an integrated 16 CFM two-stage rotary vane roughing/backing pump.The Pfeiffer Adixen ASM 182 T leak detector is ideally suited for operations requiring continuously high performance operation and production usage rates.
High sensitivity of 5*E-12 atm. cc/sec. helium (according to AVS 2.1 and ISO 3530 standards) at full pumping speed.
Unmatched inlet port helium pumping speed of 4.4 liters per second for quick response and clean-up time, allowing the ASM 182 T to outperform competing helium leak detectors with regard to pump velocity and overall efficiency.
High inlet port test pressure of up to 6 mbar (4500 microns) in full contraflow configuration for maximum performance results.
A high-resolution 180-degree deflection mass spectrometer with VHS preamplifier (multi-channel electron multiplier) for added sensitivity, stability, and durability.
Capacity to test large volumes of up to 250 liters without the need to utilize external pumping to increase sensitivity, giving the ASM 182 T a significant advantage over previous leak detectors in flow capacity and pump velocity.
Automated dual vacuum test schematics of gross leak contraflow and fine leak direct flow used for extended-range testing.
Auto-calibration utilizing an internal helium-calibrated leak with temperature, as well as percentage loss compensation for extended accuracy and simplified operation.
High roughing capacity of 16 CFM with an incorporated two-stage rotary vane pump for large-volume evacuation and rapid production cycles.
Simplified start-up and shut-down process featuring a single button; shut down can be executed regardless of mode of operation, accompanied by a selectable user interface for user-friendly operation.
Standard extended-interface capability which includes: 5 dry-contact outputs, 6 inputs, analog leak rate output, and comprehensive RS232 interface. The ASM 182 T System, alongh with other, similar Adixen helium leak detectors, is fully protected against power failure, errors resulting from movement during operation,and air penetration resulting in compromised operations. Additionally, access to the 24-hour extended support program (ESP) is likewise included for the Pfeiffer ASM 182 T helium leak detector.
Leak detection utilizing helium has a complex history dating back to the first half of the twentieth century and is used in a variety of processes and industries. Helium is used as the preferred tracer gas for eliminating leaks for a variety of reasons, including its non-flammability, non-toxicity, and inexpensiveness relative to other gases. Likewise, its inert state and small atomic size (helium has an atomic mass unit of 4 - second only to hydrogen, which has an AMU of 2) allows the gas to pass through leaks with ease. Unlike hydrogen however, helium is stable and non-explosive, providing a better alternative to be used in leak detection processes.
Utilizing the beneficial qualities of helium, a Helium Leak Detector pumps molecules of the gas into the device's analyzer cell through the use of vacuum pumps. The analyzer cell works on the principle of mass spectroscopy and measures the gas's partial pressure, displayed on the device's spectrometer. A higher reading indicates that a leak may be present, as represented by the quantity and concentration of helium molecules that have passed through a given space, as analyzed by the device. The leak detector converts this partial pressure of molecules into a flow rate. Helium leak detectors are known to be extremely precise and exhibit unparalleled accuracy in detecting leaks.
