AI Technical Summary
Existing leak detection devices risk contaminating the test object and altering its internal pressure during venting, which is detrimental and should be avoided.
A leak detection device equipped with a pressure measuring device and a selectively controllable vent valve that briefly introduces atmospheric gas into the connecting line, measuring pressure before and after a brief venting pulse to determine if the isolation valve is closed, allowing safe venting only when the valve is closed.
Prevents accidental venting of the test object by ensuring the isolation valve is closed before allowing venting, thereby maintaining the test object's integrity and pressure stability.
