Exploring the UltraFlow V3 as a Combo Leak Tester
The UltraFlow V3 is considered a “combo leak tester” because it combines two distinct testing capabilities into a single device.
Pressure Decay Mode
In
pressure decay mode, the UltraFlow V3 measures any pressure lost over time and can detect even the smallest leaks. This is a non-destructive testing method with high sensitivity, versatility, and quantitative results. This mode is ideal for sealed or low-flow components that require high accuracy, offering excellent repeatability and fast response times.
Mass Flow Mode
Mass flow testing mode is used to measure the actual leak rate directly. Like pressure decay mode, mass flow mode is non-destructive and relatively fast. This mode is especially effective for large parts or systems with higher allowable flow rates, where decay analysis is insufficient. The UltraFlow V3 enables high-speed flow measurement to determine the amount of replacement air required to maintain pressure.
Combining Pressure Decay and Mass Flow in a Dual Leak Tester
The UltraFlow V3 is a dual leak tester that integrates pressure decay and mass flow testing methods into one instrument. This eliminates the need for two separate devices and allows operators to select the right test for their needs without switching hardware or integrating a second tester. Additionally, as a combination leak tester, the UltraFlow V3 reduces tooling complexity, simplifies changeover, and increases testing flexibility.
Common UltraFlow V3 Leak Tester Applications and Uses
The UltraFlow V3 is designed to be used with a wide range of parts and systems in many industries, from large dead volumes to precision small devices. Common applications include but are not limited to:
The dual tester design increases its versatility, allowing the UltraFlow V3 to be used for many different types of operations.
Benefits and Features of the UltraFlow V3
The UltraFlow V3 provides powerful performance in a compact design, with key advantages including:
- Fastest cycle times in its class
- Configurable read range up to 200 LPM, ideal for small and large parts.
- Patented B-Stable pneumatic design and high-speed processor with high sampling rates for more precise results
- Reduced false rejects
- Seamless PLC integration with Ethernet/IP or Profinet, eliminating the need for discrete I/O
- Automated central control with Slave Mode that allows the user’s PLC to control the test parameters and settings.
- Compatibility with MES, SCADA, and other data monitoring platforms
A wide range of data can be exported, including pressure, flow, decay curves, pass/fail measurements, and historical records. This allows for easy traceability, quality audits, and regulatory compliance.
