Leak tester has split personality
The TME Worker is a single-port high-resolution test instrument that is available as a leak tester, a leak and flow tester, or a leak and occlusion tester.
TM Electronics will introduce the newest member of the TME family of leak, flow and package testers at the MD and M East 2006 Show in New York City The TME Worker is a single-port high-resolution test instrument that is available as a leak tester, a leak and flow tester, or a leak and occlusion tester

The TME Solution-C is a high resolution, pneumatic leak and flow tester.
The TME Worker leak tester is available in pressure or vacuum configurations, for pressure decay or vacuum decay leak testing.
For instruments with the leak/flow configuration, a pressure decay leak test or mass flow test can be performed alone or in combination of leak/flow or flow/leak.
During the flow test, a mass flow meter measures the flow of air or gas through the test part, and the test result will be reported as a measured flow rate in cubic centimetres per minute.
In the occlusion test the back pressure of the part is monitored to determine the extent to which the part is occluded.
The leak/occlusion configuration can perform a pressure decay leak test or an occlusion test alone or in combination of leak/occlusion or occlusion/leak.
Affordable, sensitive (resolution of 0.0001psi), repeatable and reliable, the menu-driven TME Worker is easy to program and use, with the capacity to store 100 individual test programs and a datalog capacity of 5000 test results.
The two-line vacuum fluorescent display is easy to see and LED indicators report pass/fail test results.
The instrument with its small footprint (8 x 13.7in) and rugged containment is suitable for benchtop, industrial or laboratory use.
The TME Worker has PLC controls for semi-automatic operation and two-way RS232 communication capability for downloadable program selection and uploadable data.
Ethernet connectivity is optional.
Other options include a clamp driver and bleed cycle to accommodate specific testing needs.
The TME Worker leak/flow/occlusion tester is suitable for testing applications from the medical, automotive, appliance and food industries.
