Pressure variation detecting type leakage inspection system with temperature compensation
First Claim
1. Pressure variation detecting type leakage inspection equipment comprising:
- pressure measuring means for detecting a variation, in a fixed period of time, in the pressure difference between an article under inspection and a reference tank;
an A-D converter for converting the measured pressure difference into digital pressure difference data;
first temperature measuring means for detecting the temperature of said article under inspection;
second temperature measuring means for detecting the temperature of said reference tank;
temperature difference producing means for producing digital temperature difference data representative of the difference between the temperatures of said article under inspection and said reference tank;
memory means for storing said pressure difference data in relation to said temperature difference data;
readout means for reading out of said memory means all the pressure difference data which corresponds to the temperature difference data from said temperature difference producing means;
calculating means for calculating a mean value of the pressure difference data read out of said memory means by said readout means;
correcting means for subtracting the mean value obtained by said calculating means from the pressure difference data produced by said A-D converter to provide corrected data;
judging means for comparing the corrected data from said correcting means with a reference value to judge whether said article under inspection is nondefective or defective;
display means for displaying the results of the judgement by said judging means;
write-in means for writing, when said article under inspection is judged to be nondefective by said judging means, the pressure difference data from said A-D converter into said memory means in relation to the corresponding temperature difference data from said temperature difference producing means; and
control means for controlling the operations of said readout means, said write-in means, said calculating means, said correcting means, said judging means and said display means.

Abstract
A temporal variation in a fluid pressure of a fixed value applied to an article under inspection, or in the differential pressure between it and a fluid pressure applied to a comparison tank, is measured, and the measured value is compared with a reference value, thereby judging whether the airtightness of the article under inspection is good. Of the measured pressure or differential pressure data, data on the inspected articles judged non-defective are stored, by a predetermined number, in accordance with individual temperature differences between them and the comparison tank, or temperature differences between them a reference temperature, and a mean value of the stored data is calculated for each temperature difference. This mean value is used as a correction value for correcting, for each temperature difference, the measured pressure or differential pressure data on articles subsequently inspected.
