Leak Detection Seminar Highlights Best Practices

/ MANUFACTURING HEAT TREAT NEWS, VACUUM PUMPS GAUGES VALVES NEWS

Retech Systems LLC welcomed participants to its Buffalo, NY, facility for a leak testing seminar last month, unveiling best practices and the basics of equipment on December 4-5, 2024. Vacuum technologies provider Busch Group co-hosted the event, which was open to employees and clients of both companies.

Retech Systems LLC, which manufacturers metallurgical furnaces, is a daughter company of SECO/WARWICK Group. Busch Group brands include Busch Vacuum Solutions, Pfeiffer Vacuum+Fab Solutions and centrotherm clean solutions.

Ron Ligthart from the Busch Group, a leak detection expert with over three decades of experience in the industry, presented the seminar on the first day of the event to Retech and other SECO/WARWICK employees. Attendees learned the basics of how a helium mass spectrometer leak detector works and best practices on the techniques for leak testing large vacuum systems. After a few hours of classroom-based material, students were able to put their knowledge to the test on a vacuum furnace on Retech’s shop floor using a Pfeiffer leak detector.

On day two, local Retech, Busch Group and Pfeiffer Vacuum clients were invited in for a similar activity. Overall, the event focus was on:

  • best practices for tracer gas leak testing
  • how to properly spray helium and identify leak locations
  • minimizing the time spent leak testing
  • connecting the leak detector to the ideal location and using features of the instrument (i.e. zeroing) correctly

“We had a great time partnering with Retech on this event,” said John McLaren of the Business Development – Leak Detection division at Pfeiffer Vacuum, Inc. “We’re always happy to share the knowledge we’ve gained and help customers improve their leak testing process.”
