Record 5 2000-09-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
DEF

A form of leak test in which the interior of an enclosure is actively evacuated while a tracer gas is applied to the exterior. The objective is to draw in some of the gas through possible leakage paths so that its presence becomes evident to a leak detector which will respond to the type of the type of gas used and which is connected in the evacuating system.

Record 6 2000-09-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
DEF

A leak detecting device employing two similar Pirani tubes being connected to the system under test. A cold trap is placed between one tube and the system. Condensable tracer gas entering the system reaches one tube but not the other, thus unbalancing the bridge and indicating leakage.

Record 7 2000-08-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
DEF

A testing method for sealed units in which units are subjected to a tracer gas pressure for a period, then the tracer gas is flushed from outside the unit, and the tracer gas leakage from the unit is measured. Also called(helium) bomb and pressure-evacuation testing.

Record 8 1997-05-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
DEF

A leak detector output signal due to entrapped tracer gas in the vacuum system which cannot be quickly removed by pumping, a virtual leak of the tracer gas.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fueling Systems (Motor Vehicles)
  • Motor Vehicles and Bicycles
CONT

The primary intake-port shape and the intake-valve masking combine to induce swirl to the air/fuel mixture, which promotes fast and complete burning, generates good low-speed torque, improves emissions performance, increases fuel economy, and allows higher ECR tolerance.

OBS

Masking. Preventing entrance of a tracer gas in a vessel by covering the leaks.
