About this manual

Vacuum furnaces require a leak-tight environment to ensure material integrity during processing. This document explains how leaks can compromise product quality and introduces the Agilent VS Series Leak Detectors as a solution for detecting these issues. The text highlights that while general pump-down cycles can indicate leaks, helium leak detection is necessary to pinpoint specific locations and quantify the severity of the problem.

Frequently asked questions

Why is helium used for vacuum furnace leak detection?

Helium is present in only small amounts in ambient air, resulting in low background noise. It is also readily available, non-toxic, non-flammable, and totally inert.

What is the maximum pressure at which the large leak indicator on the VS leak detector operates?

The large leak indicator operates at pressures as high as 150 Torr.

What is the maximum distance the wireless hand-held remote allows for leak testing?

The wireless hand-held remote allows leak testing up to 100 meters from the base unit.

How many different languages can the VS interface be displayed in?

The VS interface can be displayed in seven different languages.
