Are you curious thatWhy is modern industry moving away from the traditional water test (immersion in water or rain test) to gas test (air tightness test)?
Especially in today's increasingly stringent requirements for waterproofing grade, how does gas testing become the mainstream waterproofing inspection program? As a leader in the field of airtightness testing for more than ten years, theShenzhen Jingcheng Industrial Co.We will reveal the reasons behind this technological change and demonstrate our expertise in the field of gas detection.
I. Limitations of water testing: challenges to traditional methods
The traditional water test, as an intuitive means of waterproof testing, once occupied an important position in the industrial field.However, with the advancement of science and technology, the inherent defects of water inspection are increasingly highlighted, and it is difficult to meet the needs of modern production:

Destructive testing, difficult to check all:
The traditional water test is a "destructive" test of a product by immersion or drenching.May lead to contamination, corrosion or even functional failure of the product, making it impossible to sell for a second timeThe 100% full inspection is even more impossible to achieve.
Inefficient and time-consuming:
The water inspection process is cumbersome andRequires preparation of sinks, water sources, drainage systems, etc., long testing and drying time, seriously slowing down the production rhythmIt is difficult to adapt to high-volume and rapid production needs.
Results are subjective and accuracy is limited:
Reliance on water test resultsObservation of bubbles, seepage and other phenomena by the human eye is highly subjective and difficult to quantify the extent of the leakage.The leakage is difficult to detect and can easily lead to misjudgment or omission.
The test medium is limited and applications are restricted:
As a conductive medium, water is not suitable for airtightness testing of electronic products, precision instruments, medical devices and other electrical products.The application range is limited; residual water after the water test may also cause long-term hazards to the product.
Environmental pollution risks:
The high level of waste of water resources.Improper treatment of test wastewater may cause environmental pollution, which is contrary to the concept of green industrial development.
Second, the advantages of gas detection: non-destructive, efficient, accurate detection of new options
Compared to the limitations of water testing, airtightness testing stands out with its unique advantages in the field of modern industrial waterproofing testing:

Non-destructive testing, quality assurance:
Gas detection uses compressed air or inert gas as the medium, and monitors pressure changes or gas leakage through precision sensors.The whole process does not cause physical damage to the product, to realize non-destructive testing, to ensure that the product can still be used normally after the test, can be 100% full inspection, from the source to improve product quality.
Efficient, fast and cost-saving:
The gas test is extremely fast.Testing of a single product usually takes only a few seconds to tens of seconds, dramatically improving inspection efficiency, shortening the production cycle and reducing labor and time costs., in line with modern industry's goal of efficient, low-cost production.
Accurate and reliable, quantitative assessment:
The gas check adopts high-precision sensors and intelligent algorithms.Accurately measure very small pressure changes or gas leaks and quantify them into specific values, avoiding human error in judgment.The test results are objective, accurate and reliable.
The medium is universal and has a wide range of applications:
Air/nitrogen and other gaseous media are clean, non-polluting, non-conductive, and suitable for airtightness testing of almost all types of products.The industry has a high demand for sealing, especially in electronic products, medical devices, automotive parts and other industries.
Green and sustainable:
The gas test does not require water, avoiding the waste of water resources and the environmental pressure of wastewater treatment, in line with the requirements of the era of green manufacturing and sustainable development.
