Top Ten Reasons……How to Evaluate Costs for Other Brand Leak Detectors

1. Slower three-step pressure decay sensors are being used when faster direct measurement mass flow sensors would be faster and comparably priced
2. Generic fixtures do not allow for sufficient reliability compromising gage R&R
3. Test stations are not custom designed with quick change removal and replacement features thereby slowing changeover times
4. Software with more features than you need or want get in the way of operation
5. Leak detectors are added as an afterthought to assembly system design instead of being central in test-centric assemblies
6. Error proofing process design is not considered sufficiently in globally distributed manufacturing facilities that rely on lightly skilled workers in some areas.
7. Expensive tracer gas testing is used when mass flow sensors are actually adequate to the application.
8. Sensors requiring calculations are used instead of faster direct measurement in real-time sensors.
9. Older user interfaces without touch screen controls are used, slowing down operators.
10. Generic test circuits are used instead of test circuits optimized to meet application requirements.
