CETA Digital – Online Seminars 2025

When integrating leak testing with compressed air as a test medium into a test bench or industrial production process, there are many aspects to consider. Even small effects or seemingly minor issues can have a major impact and unnecessarily complicate the testing process.
These include the selection of a suitable test method, the type of adaptation, the material and installation of the measuring line, the preparation of a suitable master part, the design of the test stand and its installation location, the consideration of external influences and the execution of the series of measurements to determine the measuring equipment capability.
Based on the abbreviation ASAP, memorable rules of thumb can be derived, which are explained using practical examples.

Table of contents

• ASAP – meaning and origin
• Overview of industrial leak testing methods and selection criteria
• Leak testing with compressed air

CETA Digital – Online Seminars 2025

The IP protection class tests are type tests. Prototypes and samples are tested in the laboratory strictly in accordance with the specifications of the desired IP protection class. This involves testing the tightness against the ingress of particles and moisture.
Routine testing, on the other hand, serves as proof of consistent production quality. In the manufacture of large quantities of certain products and in some industries – such as the automotive industry – it has been standard practice for years for every product to be 100% tested for moisture during production.
This online seminar deals with IP protection types. Among other things, approaches are presented on how parameters for routine testing can be derived from the specifications of the IP protection type test.

Table of contents

• IP protection types
• IP protection types for selected products and environments
• Limits of IP protection type testing
• Type testing versus routine testing
• Risk minimisation using routine testing
• Routine testing in the context of industrial leak testing
• Approaches for determining the test pressure
• Procedure for deriving a product specific leakage rate

Target group:
This online seminar is aimed at developers and users who want to gain an overview of type tests in the laboratory in accordance with the specifications of the IP protection types and the implementation of routine tests in the production process.

In the packaging industry, plastic containers are used for the storage and transportation of solid and liquid media. These include bottles, canisters, drums and IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers), which cover a large volume range from approx. 0.5 l to 1,200 l. Ideally, these must be checked for leaks in the production process cycle.
Due to its good availability, compressed air is often used as a test medium. There are various challenges here. With the CETATEST 725 LV (Large Volume) leak tester, which was specially developed for the packaging industry, it is possible, for example, to test a 1,000 l IBC for leaks in a total test time of less than 30 seconds.
This online seminar covers the leak testing of large-volume containers in a practical way.

Table of contents

• Task definition
• Special requirements for the testing process
• Challenges in leak testing large-volume test parts
• Use of a calibration standard
• Practical implementation with the CETATEST 725 LV leak tester
• Measurement results

Target group:

This online seminar is aimed at manufacturers of large-volume plastic products who are interested in leak testing in the production process and practical examples.

CETA Digital – Online Seminars 2025

In contrast to the directly fillable test parts, encapsulated test parts do not have a filling opening. In order to test them for leaks, they are placed in a test hood. The test hood is pressurised and the pressure loss caused by a leakage into the interior of the test part is measured. In principle, this sounds simple, but there are various details to consider in the practical implementation.
In this online seminar, the topic is dealt with in a practice-oriented manner and the practical implementation is further enhanced with valuable tips.

Table of contents

• Examples of encapsulated products
• Leak test of encapsulated test parts
• Project planning and design
• Optimisation of the testing process
• Criteria for technical feasibility
• Notes on the design of the test hood
• Application examples

Target group:

This online seminar is aimed at manufacturers of encapsulated products who are interested in leak testing in the production process and practical examples as part of quality assurance.
