Furness FC770 leak detector

Bestech Australia has released the next generation of the Furness leak detector for inline production leak testing of automotive components, pharmaceutical products, safety pressure devices, plumbing fittings, gas appliances and medical equipment.

The FC770 leak detector is a development of the FCO 750 instrument. It uses a flat diaphragm differential pressure transducer and the leak test specific spool type valve block with spool position monitoring.

The full-colour graphical touch-screen display shows the image of the particular product to be leak tested. Automatic storage of test graphs and other data and test recipes, or preset test sequences, for up to 300 different products is also standard.

Users can program the detector via its front panel, or with a laptop or PC via its RS232, RS485, USB or ethernet interface. All such interfaces are included as standard. The I/O for communication with external devices, such as PLCs and PCs, may also be programmed via the front panel touch screen, or externally via a computer. Programming software and detailed user guides are included on CD.

Common with all other Furness leak testers, the instrument can be set up by the user to test with vacuum or positive pressure. The maximum negative pressure range is -100 kPa (0 kPa Absolute) and the maximum positive pressure range is 3 MPa (3000 kPa or 30 bar).
