Helium Testing

A Reliable Method for Leak Detection

Helium leak testing is considered as one of the most effective and efficient methods utilized to identify the leaks in a wide array of industrial devices and facilities. It employs the use of helium which is an inert and nontoxic gas whose atomic size is the smallest making it penetrate through small leakage that other gases cannot. A helium leak testing is an application that is used in various sub-sectors that include aerospace, automobile, oil and gas, and manufacturing industries.

At Kryo Energy, we provide helium leak testing services in Gujarat for the validation of critical systems with regard to their function, reliability and safety. Our highly skilled technicians employ specialised tools and methods to identify and quantify even the smallest of leakage so as to avoid further damages, schedule interruptions, not to mention risk to life and property.

Why Helium for Leak Testing?

As stated earlier, helium is ideal in leak detection tasks because of its properties. First, helium is chemically inert which makes it safe to work with for testing since it does not have a tendency to react with other elements. Second, having a small atomic size, it can easily pass through cracks that may not be easily noticed when using other methods. It is also non-combustible and non-toxic meaning that it can be used in many different settings and industries safely.

Helium testing is much more sensitive than other leak test methods and can detect leakage as low as 10^-9 mbar litres per second. This makes it suitable for industries where accuracy in detection of leaks is paramount, for instance in vessels under pressure, vacuum systems, heat exchange equipment, pipelines, and other high stress systems.

How Helium Leak Testing Works

Helium leak testing can be conducted in two primary ways, namely, vacuum testing and pressure testing.

Vacuum Testing

In vacuum testing, the entire system or component is put in a vacuum chamber and helium gas is allowed to infiltrate into the surrounding of the leak point. This pressure difference generates a pressure gradient that leads the movement of helium through the leak which exists inside the system. The helium detectors essential known as mass spectrometers are then used to determine the amount as well as location of helium leakage within the system.

Pressure Testing

: In pressure testing, the component or the system is pressurized with the help of helium gas; there are helium detectors used to trace the escaping gas on the surface of the element. This method is used on systems that cannot be tested under vacuum or need testing under a particular pressure regime. Thus, our helium leak testing services in Gujarat offer both testing methods so that we can address industry requirements and specific types of equipment.

Applications of Helium Leak Testing

Helium leak testing is widely used across multiple industries, including:
• Aerospace: Pertaining to the reliability and safety of aircrafts, it is imperative that the aircraft parts, fuel cells and propulsion systems are not compromised. By use of helium test, leakage that is likely to affect performance of the system is easily identified.
• Automotive: In the automotive industry, manufacturers employ helium testing in checking whether the car engines, fuel systems, radiators, and air conditioning units are leak-tight to enhance vehicle safety as well as its operations.
• Oil and Gas: Equipment like pipelines, valves and pressure vessels used in the oil and gasoline industry are exposed to severe conditions. Helium leak testing can be used on these important systems to detect the leaks that can otherwise lead to expensive repairs or environmental disasters.
• Manufacturing: Helium leak testing applies to manufacturing processes where vacuum systems, heat exchangers, and other pressure-based parts are normally used.
