That’s an interesting question. In the world of leak testing and test and measurement in general we strive for perfection every day. That’s the point of measurements, surely. We want them to be accurate, repeatable and reproducible.
In test and measurement we usually accept some degree of variation which we
Innovation: That’s the subject of this post. I have been with Uson for over 38 years and in that time we have introduced new products at probably much the same rate as any other industrial goods manufacturer. However, over the last few years I have to say the rate of
Anyone using leak testing instrumentation on production lines for inspecting components or assemblies for leaks and/or flow rates can now achieve both higher quality and efficiency operations through improved training offered at no-charge by Uson.
Our hands-on leak testing training sessions are held in various Uson worldwide locations and in
This month I am going to introduce you to the model 628 leak tester, but first a little background to set the stage.
Pressure decay leak testers have long been the mainstay of leak detection in the automotive, medical device and general industrial products
Leak testing has come a long way since 1963 when Uson was founded, and like most new industries the rate of innovation was fast at first. New and improved leak testers were regularly being introduced as more and more applications arose for our products and technology. Although we continue to
Anyone reading this who is involved in the leak testing of flexible packages will be familiar with the methylene blue dye leak test. For years it has been the go to test for detecting leaks in flexible packaging – foil or laminate pouches, bags, blister packs, lidded trays, flow wrap
When it comes to NDT testing of various kinds, the types of components that you use to create the test circuits always have impact on the capability of your testing solution.
For example, in leak testing, choosing the right-sized valves and sensors for your test equipment can make or break

do. Excellence,

I came across this quotation recently and it quickly struck me how it relates to quality assurance. And so, with it being the beginning of a new year, this post is rather more
“Uh-Oh, what could this possibly be about?” you might be wondering. There can’t be any such thing as “zero-time”.
Well, strictly speaking you are right, but there’s a neglected feature in the Optima leak tester that we couldn’t think of a better name for.
The Uson Optima vT is designed
In this post I thought we might try to put hole sizes,leaks, and leak rates in perspective. Much continues to be written about determining realistic leak specifications and the chestnut of the “no leakage permitted” type of specification is still commonly encountered.
Looking through some old training material I thought
