Leak & Pressure Test Connector

Sealant Enterprises is the best manufacturer and supplier of leakage and pressure testing coupling. In the medical manufacturing industry, reliable quality testing is of the utmost importance particularly when it comes to leak testing. An accurate and reliable leak test starts with leak test seals and connectors you can trust. Leaking seals are the primary cause of misleading leak test results, especially in pneumatic test environments.

When testing medical devices for leaks, there are specific test requirements that should be included in your leak test environment. For example, you will need leak test seals and possibly part holding fixtures built to secure hard-to-seal fittings, such as fittings for flexible tubing and lure connectors.

You also want to test products in which all touch points are made of stainless steel, urethane, and silicone-based sealing materials to ensure Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compliance.

It is important to understand the specific design, fixture, and seal considerations for medical device manufacturing and leak testing, which we will review below.

Test Station Design Considerations for Medical Device Leak Testing

Before you can build an efficient leak test station, you need to start with a plan that considers the following:

Automated vs. Manual Part Handling

Whether you are using automated part handling, manual testing, or a mixture of both, you need to allow sufficient cycle time for an accurate test.

With an automatic leak test, the system automatically senses the part and then connects with sufficient seal force to hold the part in place when test pressure or vacuum is applied. You can then start the test.

When you conduct the test manually with Leakage and pressure Test Couplings, you need to account for variables that may affect the results:

• Is the sealing/locking force sufficient to hold the part in place for an accurate test?


• What kind of operator movement do you need to incorporate into each manually activated seal or clamp?


• How efficiently can the operator conduct manual load/unload of the parts for the leak tests?

Line Configuration

Line configuration is also an important consideration. The line setup will determine where to place your tooling and whether it is a lean cell design, single-piece flow design, or batch testing setup.
