USON Leak & Flow testing solutions
What Is Leak & Flow Testing?
Leak and flow testing verify the integrity and performance of sealed components, assemblies, and packaging. By measuring how pressure, vacuum, or flow behaves within a closed system, manufacturers can detect leaks, blockages, or structural weaknesses that may compromise product quality or safety.
Even very small leaks can lead to product failure, contamination, or reduced performance. That is why leak testing plays a critical role in quality control across many industries, including medical devices, automotive components, packaging, and industrial manufacturing.
Modern leak testing systems use precise measurement techniques to identify defects quickly and reliably during production. Depending on the application, different test principles can be applied, such as pressure decay, differential pressure testing, vacuum decay, or mass flow measurement.
Manufacturers worldwide rely on the proven testing technology developed by USON to ensure that components meet strict quality and safety standards. With the right test method and equipment, leak testing can be seamlessly integrated into production lines, enabling fast cycle times and consistent, repeatable results.

Common Leak Testing Methods
Choosing the right leak test method is critical to ensure accurate results and reliable product quality. USON offers advanced systems that support multiple testing principles, each suited for different applications and materials.
Key Test Methods:
-
Pressure Decay Testing – Measures the drop in pressure inside a sealed component to detect leaks. Ideal for medical devices and packaging.
-
Differential Pressure Testing – Compares a test part to a reference volume for ultra-sensitive leak detection, commonly used in automotive components.
-
Vacuum Decay Testing – Detects leaks in sealed packaging and medical applications by monitoring vacuum changes.
-
Mass Flow Measurement – Measures the flow through a component to identify leaks or blockages, suitable for industrial manufacturing and electronic enclosures.
-
Burst Testing & Occlusion Checks – Evaluates component strength and ensures no blockage in critical parts.
