Processing and Testing

Processing and Testing of Pressure Compensation Seals

A Pressure Compensation Seal (PCS) is a functional part for which individually developed processing and testing systems are necessary. We offer different system solutions for small series up to fully automated processing plants and accompany you throughout the entire product development process.

General Processing Instructions

PCS surfaces must be protected from mechanical stress during the application and testing processes.

The airflow and water entry point tests provide the necessary information on functionality, thus ensuring error-free operation.

We master the challenges of the different mounting systems for Pressure Compensation Seals with our individual solutions.

Self-adhesive Pressure Compensation Seals (PCS) require processing systems whose pressure stamps allow individual settings for time and force.
Ultrasonic weldable Pressure Compensation Seals (PCS) require application-specific sonotrodes and individual setting parameters.

Test Station for Airflow Testing

Airflow is considered a measure of the gas permeability of a membrane. It indicates how great the protection of an enclosure is against compressive loads.

Manual test unit
Integrated test unit (individual process sequence)

Apply the airflow tester on top of the component hole.

The value indicated on the display of the airflow meter shows if the PCS functions correctly.

Test Station for Water Entry Point Testing

The water entry point is a gauge of the water retention capacity of a PCS. It indicates how high the protection of a membrane is against water ingress in an enclosure.

Manual Test Unit

Fill the vent hole with test water (water + 0.5% red, water-soluble ink such as oil-free Pelikan stamp ink).

Press the tube with the silicone rubber end against the component hole. Perform the water tightness test using compressed air. The compressed air will press the water against the PCS. Use a digital pressure gauge to set the required pressure level.
