Airtech Vac View 10 Vacuum Leak Detector
Description
Airtech Vac View® 10 – Inline Vacuum Leak Detector / Flow Indicator
The Vac View® 10 provides an instant, visual indication of air leaks in vacuum bags and plumbing. As vacuum is pulled, airflow through the device moves an internal ball in the clear body; the ball position against the printed scale gives a quick, easy-to-read indication of leak magnitude. This allows technicians to pinpoint and fix leaks faster than waiting on a static vacuum drop test, and to verify improvements immediately as seals are tightened.
Key Features
- Instant visual feedback for both high and low level leak detection.
- Quantifies leak rate by ball height against the scale—useful for process documentation.
- Inline, compact body for use at the vacuum port or anywhere in the vacuum line.
- Clear housing makes flow behavior easy to observe during troubleshooting.
- Reusable shop tool—ideal for daily composites work and training.
Typical Use
- Install inline on the vacuum side of the bag (between the laminate/manifold and the pump or catch pot).
- Pull vacuum and observe the ball/scale reading; walk the seal to locate and close leaks.
- Verify leak rate reduction in real time as repairs are made.
Benefits
- Find leaks far quicker than waiting for vacuum drop tests.
- See immediate improvement as tape seams, ports, and fittings are corrected.
- Simple, low-cost QA tool for the shop floor and mobile service work.
Compatibility & Notes
- Use with appropriate vacuum line fittings/adapters for your hose size (fittings may be required).
- Place downstream of the bag and upstream of the pump/catch pot for best sensitivity.
