ATEQ introduces new leak testers

October 2013 Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring

ATEQ has introduced three new leak testers in its F6 series: the F620, the weatherproof F610 and the F670 in 3U industrial format. All devices are easy to set up, maintain, service, upgrade and above all use. New electronics, measurement module, interface and accessories have been added to improve quality control.

Features include:

* Differential pressure decay leak measurement. (Use in pressure and vacuum.)

* Large range of leak measurement (∆P) FS: 50 Pa, 500 Pa or 5000 Pa.

* 128 programs.

* 2 languages (English + 1 other).

* Manual calibration on front panel.

* Environmental: ROHS standard.

Fully backwards compatible: ATEQ customers will not need to scrap older leak testing equipment. The F6 versions are compatible with I/O from previous generations, so not only can existing customers swap I/Os but they can also hot swap outdated equipment without changing the test setup. One of the most important features is the ability of the leak tester to plug into existing PLCs and test benches without having to reprogram everything. In addition, the F6 also features more modern interfacing like Ethernet and USB, so customers can be sure that it is also fully forwards compatible.

Laboratory testing also possible: leak testers are often used in quality control laboratories where a small unit with a fast and clear interface and enough memory to store all the trial parameters and tests is required.

Keeping an eye on invisible radiation
Omniflex Remote Monitoring Specialists Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring
At its peak in 1994, the energy generation capacity of the UK’s nuclear power stations was 12,7 GW across 16 plants. In 2024, the capacity has fallen to around 5 GW, and the number of stations is down to nine. However, this is far from the end of the story as spent nuclear fuel remains radioactive for centuries, and requires rigorous safety processes to safeguard against leaks.
