Welded insulated gas cylinders, commonly known as Dewar cylinders, are the main storage devices for liquefied natural gas, liquid oxygen, vehicle-mounted natural gas, and cryogenic liquids. They are widely used in the fields of liquefied gas production, storage, transportation, and use, and are particularly important for the sealing of gas cylinders. Any leakage may lead to the loss of gas. If it is carrying natural gas or flammable gas, it may cause the risk of explosion, so it is very necessary for the leak detection of Dewar bottles (welded insulated gas cylinders).
Dewar bottle (welded insulated gas cylinder) leak detection method:
The Pfeiffer HLT550 helium mass spectrometer leak detector provides two leak detection modes, vacuum mode and positive pressure mode (sniffer mode). For leak detection in vacuum mode, connect the helium mass spectrometer leak detector to the vacuum system. Since the HLT550 does not have a backing pump, the vacuum system used on site can be used as the backing pump of the helium mass spectrometer leak detector. Near the air port (that is, the air inlet of the vacuum pump group), the vacuum system will have a pump group that is vacuuming, so the connection of the leak detector at the air inlet of the pump is in the direction of the air flow, and it is easy to have a part of the leak. The pressure is given to the leak detector to achieve the effect of leak detection.
Using the vacuum mode of the helium mass spectrometer leak detector to detect the vacuum welding furnace is the most widely used detection method in the industry. The Dewar bottle (Welded Insulated Cylinder) (Welded Insulated Cylinder) is evacuated by the vacuum system, and the leak detector is connected to the vacuum pump group. At the air intake end, since the air flow will go to the vacuum system, if there is a leak in the helium spray, it will pass through the pumping port of the leak detector. After the helium mass spectrometer leak detector detects helium, there will be a change in the leak rate, so that achieve measurement results.
