What is BS EN 1593 - Bubble emission techniques about?
BS EN 1593 is a standard that covers bubble emission techniques, enabling the detection of leaks for the sealing integrity of the products.
BS EN 1593 describes procedures for the detection and location of leaks by the bubble emission techniques. The sensitivity depends on the techniques and materials used.
BS EN 1593 describes two techniques:
- Liquid application technique
- Immersion technique: quantitative measurements can be made using this procedure with particular devices
BS EN 1593 can be used for equipment that can be evacuated or pressurised.
Who is BS EN 1593 - Bubble emission techniques for?
BS EN 1593 on bubble emission techniques applies to:
- NDT services
- Leaking testing services
- Bubble leak testing services
Why should you use BS EN 1593 - Bubble emission techniques?
A bubble test is used to detect leaks by the immersion of the object in a test fluid or by covering its outer surface with a surfactant (foaming) solution. The pressure difference across the walls of the object is high enough that leaks are shown by bubble formation.
BS EN 1593 provides users guidance on interferences, including, surface contamination and liquid contamination, ensuring the accuracy and precision of bubble emission techniques.
BS EN 1593 provides users guidance on personnel qualification, principle, general requirements, interferences, immersion technique, liquid application technique, and test report, enabling accuracy and reliability in leak testing applications.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 1593, users can perform leak testing ensuring seal quality and package integrity for product quality assurance in varying environmental conditions.
