A global manufacturer of industrial hose required a leak test system to test multiple sizes and types of air conditioning hose in a single test chamber.

We engineered a custom leak test system with a "coffin-style" leak test chamber capable of testing hoses of varying sizes and connection types.

  • Universal vacuum test chamber with internal hoses and interchangeable connectors
  • Automated chamber opens and closes with safety light curtains
  • Automated calibration with helium supply and calibrated leak
