Description

Welch Belt Drive vacuum pump model 1397C-03 giving you an ultimate vacuum of 0.001 Torr (1 micron) and a volumetric flow rate of 17.7 CFM. These belt driven rotary vane vacuum pumps are ruggedized and built to perform and last in demanding environments and applications.

The Belt Driven Rotary Vane Pump has a high oil capacity which also yields a high contamination tolerance. Furthermore, the lower operational RPM, which is about 3 times less than a direct drive rotary vane pump, will result in a longer service life due to lower operational temperature (about 10 degrees less) and less wear and tear.

The trade-off are that these types of pumps are heavier than its direct drive rotary vane counterparts, require more oil, and have more moving parts such as wheel and pulley.

Helium Leak Testing Systems
Helium Leak Testing Systems are instruments which detect leaks in specimen by detecting present of helium. Helium is used as a tracer gas to detect and quantify a leak. For example, a test specimen is filled with helium and placed into a test chamber, a vacuum is pulled and a helium mass spectrometer is connected to the test chamber. If helium is detected, it is due to the fact that it has escaped from the specimen through a leak path. Helium Leak Testing is a qualitative and quantitative method of detecting product leaks.
Digital Vacuum Gauge Instruments
A Digital Vacuum Gauge is an instrument which precisely measures a vacuum level inside a vacuum chamber. Unlike a rough dial vacuum gauge, which shows only where the vacuum chamber is roughly with an error of up to 3% (a high as 1 inHg) a digital vacuum gauge will show vacuum levels up to 3 significant figure in Torr and millitorr – this makes the digital vacuum gauge ten thousand times more accurate than the dial vacuum gauge.
Our Work: Bubble Leak Testing System with a Dry off Sink used for Leak Testing Large Bags
How do you leak test Large Food Bags? This is the same question a Large Food and Beverage Processor had asked themselves because they had need for a bubble leak testing system which could be used to detect presence of leaks in their large bags. Their requirements were to test several sized bags with the largest bag being 24 inches Wide by 12 inch Deep by 9 inches High. In addition to the bubble leak testing system, they also needed a way to dry the bags after the test.
