Vacuum weld test box
Kowotest - KOWOVAC Vacuum Boxes
The inspection glass is made of high quality transparent plastic, which is durable and shatterproof.
Technical Description
KOWOVAC Vacuum boxes
The inspection glass is made of high-quality, shatter-resistant, transparent plastic . To ensure optimal sealing on most surfaces, the glass edge is equipped with a specially designed soft rubber gasket with superior elasticity. The vacuuming process for the chamber is carried out via a 360° rotating vacuum valve , integrated with a Ø13 mm (½ inch) vacuum hose connection. When the chamber is pressed down on the surface of the part to be inspected via the handles – one of which is the vacuum valve – the valve opens automatically and the inspection process is activated.
Applications
KOWOVAC Vacuum boxes for testing butt weld seams - 180° (i.e. tank floor)
KOWOVAC Vacuum Box for Butt Weld Inspection – 180° Design (Sink Floor Application)
This device is used to detect leaks on butt welds in hard-to-reach areas such as tank bottoms. The 180° design allows for full contact with a flat surface, combined with a conductive adhesive (usually soap powder or foaming agent) to locate the defect.
