LEAK TESTING FOR THE PLUMBING AND SANITARY FIXTURES INDUSTRY

A single micro-leak in plumbing products hidden behind walls or beneath floors can lead to major structural damage and high compensation costs. Adlema’s air-based dry testing solutions verify all sanitary plumbing components directly on the production line, without using water — from plastic pipes and brass valves to luxury fixtures and water meters. Protect your brand reputation against leaks.

No More Underwater Testing: Fast, Clean and Dry Production

Immersing sanitary plumbing parts, valves and pipes in water tanks for quality control is an outdated method that is slow, relies on operator observation and causes metal parts to rust — corrosion. In addition, products must be fully dried before packaging, which creates a significant energy cost.

Adlema devices use air as the test medium. Your products are tested in a completely dry environment with micron-level precision and can be sent directly to packaging without waiting for a drying process.

Cross-Leakage Control in Fixtures and Valves

Bathroom and kitchen faucets, fixtures and multi-way water valves contain complex internal channels that prevent hot and cold water from mixing. Not only external leakage, but also cross-leaks between these internal channels can cause the product to operate incorrectly.

With multiple test ports, Adlema’s advanced differential devices verify both the external body leak tightness of fixtures and the internal cartridge/valve isolation within a single automated cycle.
