Cincinnati - Model Sentinel I28 -Leak Detection System
Sentinel I28 is manufacturing’s most versatile and robust pressure decay and mass flow test instrument. It delivers durability and high test repeatability in a proven, standard platform and is configurable for a vast array of test types and options for pressure, flow, or vacuum testing. A multifunctional unit, it can be integrated with a PLC or operate on its own and control up to 5 tooling motions.
The Sentinel I28 leak detection system is configurable for a variety of pressure decay testing or mass flow testing requirements. It provides storage for up to 99 pre-programmed test sequences and features a “Parent Program” that holds a customized test sequence for your multi-test application.
- Designed to deliver accurate, reliable, repeatable measurement
- Flexible and customizable to adapt to the needs of your production line
- Low Leak Rate Requirements (DP and DP leak rate)
- High Flow Measurements
- Sealed Part Testing
- Large Volume Part Testing
- Enhanced Fill and Exhaust
- Easy to set up and operate, and now you can also manage the system from your PC with free CTSnet LT

This reliable and accurate flow test technique is used to determine restrictions in the test part. Flow path size testing technology is suitable for use with pneumatic and hydraulic media.
Widely used for larger volume or highly elastic parts, CTS’ flow leak detection instruments measure and record the flow of makeup air/gas required to compensate for air/gas loss from a leak at a constant pressure over a fixed time period. Here are variations of flow leak testing:
-
Mass Flow
This test method utilizes the flow meter calibration to report the measured flow rate. -
Mass Flow Leak Standard
This test method utilizes an instrument calibration process with a known flow leak standard and non-leaking test part to read nearly zero by removing test system noise conditions. -
Differential Mass Flow Leak Testing
Our differential mass flow leak testing systems are similar to mass flow leak standard testing technology, but utilizes a reference volume of similar or exact design or volume of the part under test to help eliminate additional flow characteristics that are not associated with a leak, such as part expansion/compression and thermal conditions. This flow test method allows more stable test pressures of makeup air during the test, and typically offers improved repeatability.
