Vacuum Instrument Corporation (VIC) products

The MD-490S is a leader among portable tracer gas leak detectors. With a response time of less than 0.5 seconds, sensitivity to 10-8 direct reading atm-cc/sec, and the ability to zero out the background, this is the industry’s most aggressive portable leak detector.

MD-490S Dual Gas is the most advanced sniffing Helium/Hydrogen leak detector designed specifically for industrial environments. The MD-490S Dual Gas utilizes VIC’s own industrial-grade mass spectrometer to achieve the highest sensitivity, fastest response-time, and smallest footprint.

The MD-490M is a turnkey vacuum mass spectrometer system characterized by ease of maintenance and adaptability to system use. The instrument uses the most sensitive and accurate method of leak detection: the helium mass spectrometer. It also meets the stringent requirements for robustness, reliability and ease of maintenance that are essential in any industrial environment..

A Helium Recovery System in leak testing is a sophisticated setup designed to capture and recycle helium gas used during the leak testing process. In industries where leak integrity is critical, such as aerospace, automotive, and refrigeration, helium is often the preferred test gas. This preference is due to helium’s small atomic size and inert nature, which allows it to quickly escape from even the smallest of leaks.

The Smart Charge 5 is a fully automatic, custom configurable evacuation and tracer gas backfill system with built-in gross leak test. The system is ideally suited for pre-charging of product with tracer gas, such as Helium, Hydrogen or others prior to the leak test processes. It can also be used with any gas charging application that requires evacuation and subsequent pressurization of a test product.

Introducing the VIC PBS-1 Single Chamber Bombing Station, designed for precise helium tracer gas leak detection in automotive, aerospace, and electronics. Its single-chamber design simplifies testing, ensuring reliable identification of even the smallest leaks while reducing test times.

Introducing the VIC PBS-2 Dual Chamber Bombing Station, designed for advanced helium tracer gas leak detection in automotive, aerospace, and electronics. Its dual-chamber design allows simultaneous testing, ensuring efficient identification of even the smallest leaks while reducing overall test times. System specifically designed for the bombing of hermetically sealed devices.

Introducing the VIC PV883 Dual Purpose Bombing Station, designed for versatile helium and fluorocarbon tracer gas leak detection. Ideal for automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries, the PV883 offers precise and efficient testing for various applications. Its advanced design ensures reliable identification of even the smallest leaks, enhancing your quality assurance processes. Trust the PV883 for consistent, accurate results in all your leak detection needs.

Introducing the VIC PV883 Junior Bombing Station, designed for helium and tracer gas leak detection in low-volume applications. Perfect for automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries, this compact version offers precise and efficient testing. The PV883 Junior ensures reliable identification of small leaks, making it ideal for quality assurance in smaller-scale operations.

A backfill station is an essential component in the leak testing process, designed to reintroduce a gas, often nitrogen or a mixture of gases, into a test piece following evacuation or leak detection. This step is crucial for preparing the test item for further processing or for ensuring that it is returned to a non-vacuum state in a controlled manner. The backfilling process helps in preserving the integrity of the test piece, preventing contamination, and ensuring that the internal environment is suitable for the item’s subsequent use or further testing. VIC’s backfill stations are engineered to deliver precise control over the backfilling process, ensuring that the correct gas pressure and mixture are applied consistently to meet the specific requirements of each leak testing procedure.
