Brake systems are one of the most important safety features in an automobile. The brakes work on a hydraulic system which uses fluid as a medium of operation. The hydraulic brake system is tested for leaks and flow rate of hydraulic fluid.
- The process begins by connecting the hydraulic brake system to a leak tester.
- The test assembly is pressurised to a set pressure typically around 70-200 bar and then left idle to stabilise the air.
- After stabilisation, the assembly is monitored for any pressure drop.
- If there is a leak, there will be a pressure drop at a constant rate, and inversely, no pressure drops if there is no leak.
Hydraulic brake leak tests are generally conducted on the brake fluid reservoir, master cylinder, brake calipers, hoses, and connections as well as final assembly. By implementing these leak tests in the production line, brake manufacturers and OEMs can efficiently and accurately test hydraulic brakes for leaks, ensuring high-quality, leak-free brake systems for their vehicles.
Our F600 HP is an excellent solution for conducting high-pressure leak detection on the production lines.
