As an industry leader, LeakMaster’s patented leak testers successfully test millions of munition products annually. Through years of experience and a customer-first mindset, we help munitions manufacturers significantly improve their quality control processes, reduce waste, and ensure the reliability of their products for military and defense use.
There are several leak testing methods used for munition leak testing, including water immersion, Pressure or Vacuum Decay, Mass Flow, and Tracer Gas testing. LeakMaster focuses on air leak testing solutions due to their lower cost, ease of use and testing accuracy.
Mass flow leak testing is commonly used for munition storage containers, such as the 155mm munition container being leak tested by our UltraFlow V3. With Mass Flow the part is pressurized to a setpoint pressure. Any replacement air required to maintain the setpoint pressure is considered leakage, and based on the leak limits applied, the container is passed or rejected. Mass flow testing is simple & inexpensive with excellent resolution. It is the preferred test method for shipping containers that vary in volume or have large dead volumes.
Other robust leak test methods including Pressure or Vacuum Decay, Differential Pressure Decay and Metered Volume/IP67 leak testing cover a range of munitions applications. Best of all, LeakMaster air leak testers are easy and straightforward to set up and operate, utilizing common screens to build confidence, and eliminate confusion.
