Furness FC770 leak detector

Click2Contact

The Furness FCO770 leak detector is designed for inline production leak testing of automotive components, pharmaceutical products, safety pressure devices, plumbing fittings, gas appliances, medical equipment and many other categories of products. It uses the Furness flat diaphragm differential pressure transducer, and the leak test specific spool type valve block with spool position monitoring.

The detector has a full colour graphical touch-screen display. Automatic storage of test graphs and other data and test recipes, or preset test sequences, for up to 300 different products is standard. Each test recipe may include a conventional leak test and also automatically sequenced tests for blockage, ramp and dump (sealed component test) for the one product. The user can program the detector via its front panel or with a laptop or PC via its RS232, RS485, USB or ethernet interface. 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.

The leak detector 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 (30 bar). Integral manual or automatic pressure and vacuum regulators are available. Depending on the application, an internal vacuum generator option is also available. If an external vacuum or positive pressure source is needed then the user can connect an external pressure source.
