VACUUM TUBE LEAK TESTER

The SAPSONS Vacuum Tube Leak Tester is a portable instrument designed to quickly identify leaking tubes in tubular equipment. It is commonly used during maintenance shutdowns to locate tubes that need plugging or replacement.

Working principle :

• One end of the tube is sealed.

• The tester is connected to the other end.

• Compressed air creates a vacuum inside the tube.

• The vacuum gauge is observed:

- Stable vacuum: Tube is leak-free.

- Dropping vacuum: Tube has a leak.

Typical specifications :

• Tube size range: 1/4 in. to 3 in. OD (6.3–76.2 mm)

• Air supply required: 90 psi (approximately 6 bar)

• Built-in analog vacuum gauge

• Interchangeable tube seals for different tube diameters

• Portable and easy to operate

• Tool weight: approximately 2 kg (4.4 lb)

Applications :

• Surface condensers

• Shell-and-tube heat exchangers

• Chillers

• Boilers

• Evaporators

• Process cooling equipment

Advantages :

• Fast leak detection

• No need to fill the equipment with water

• Suitable for testing multiple tube sizes with one instrument

• Simple operation and lightweight design

• Helps quickly identify damaged tubes during maintenance

The SAPSONS Vacuum Tube Leak Tester is a portable device used to detect leaks in tubes of heat exchangers, condensers, boilers, chillers, and similar equipment. It works by creating a vacuum inside a sealed tube using compressed air and monitoring the vacuum gauge. A stable vacuum indicates a leak-free tube, while a falling vacuum indicates a leak.
