Rotary Moulded Leak Tester ¦  Two Part Injection Moulded Leak Tester ¦ Leak Testing Technical Components/Mouldings ¦ Bespoke Leak Detectors or a with customising approach

Our 'Technical' leak testers and detectors can test hollow articles of any shape or size. Medical, Automotive, Domestic, Packaging - well anything really! Many manufacturers of 'Scientific' leak testers just seem to want to sell a standard pressure decay 'box' - not us. We are happy to customise our software to your application, produce the test fixtures and commission the system at your factory.

Test pressures from a few milli-bars to 300 bar are no problem.

Multi-language displays - no problem

The tester can also carry out additional operations:

  1. Measuring translucency (photocopier cartridge)
  2. Meauring motor current (windscreen washer bottle)
  3. Drilling or blocking holes
  4. Product marking (stamp, laser, ink-jet etc)

Modular test fixture design with 'change parts' enables you to use the fixture for a variety of applications. Shuttle and rotary table versions for high speed applications

BMC Controls can supply a leak test /leak detector system to suit your requirements:

Key Features

  1. Menu driven display makes adjustments, diagnostics and test results easy to see and set.
  2. Either pressure decay or vacuum testing, depending on the application.
  3. Auto-Calibrate feature ensures highest sensitivity without constant adjustment.
  4.  Non-contact dual start systems eliminates RSI.
  5. Plenty of spare inputs and outputs that allow for integration with existing hardware.
  6. Intel/Microsoft™ technology gives the highest level of “future proofing”
  7. Password protection prevents unauthorized changing of critical settings.
  8. Multi language Display.

Getting the best performance

Because of the critical applications that “Technical” components are often used in, it is important that leak testing and leak detecting equipment are capable of detecting the smallest holes without rejecting good parts. The following points should be observed to get the best performance from leak detector equipment:

AccuSense® Operator control unit. All settings, test results and diagnostics are displayed on a clear back-lit screen.



Some examples of our leak testers and leak detectors

Leak Tester For Brake Fluid ReservoirLeak Tester For Brake Fluid Reservoir

This container was produced by welding the two injection moulded components together. The purpose of the tester was to check the weld had a perfect seal. The use of the two test positions enables the operator to load and unload one station while the other station is performing the leak test. Although hand-loaded, the operation was able to be carried out without the need for any additional personnel.

  • Hand loaded tester, shown testing brake fluid reservoir.
  • Unit can easily test other products with replaceable ‘nests’.

Leak Tester For Microwave ComponentsLeak Tester For Microwave Components

The shuttle design of this leak tester system allows the operator to load two components while two are being tested. Due to the rigidity of the component, the sensitivity was better than 0.1mm. The product being tested is a satellite UNB, the purpose for this test was to ensure that rain-water did not enter the sensitive electronics.


Water Heater Leak TesterWater Heater Leak Tester

  • Bench Tester shown with water heater assembly.
  • Unit sequences air flow to test check valves.
  • This tester was designed to test at 8 bar to simulate high water pressure found in some regions.
  • To prevent operator fatigue from packing “failed” components the tester has to be reset to allow the faulty product to be released.
