The ultrasonic leak test is the logical further development of the so-called “bicycle tube” method – you are certainly familiar with it. Your bike has a “flat tire”. Now it is time to remove the defective tube, inflate it, hold it under water and analyze where the air bubbles are coming up. This method comes pretty close to the actual ultrasonic leak test. What is hopefully only rarely necessary with your own bike, happens millions of times every day in industrial series production. An infinite number of products have to be leak tight and are tested using the “bicycle tube” method, for example in the automotive industry (fuel tanks, petrol or brake lines, pump housing, etc.) or in the building sector (gas meters, radiators, water taps, etc.).
