Leak Tester Design
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerOur goal is to create a system to conduct leak testing on injection molded plungers. Our system allows for the gradual pressurizing of plunger – reservoir assemblies while enabling real time observation of the leakage. Our testing involved subjecting plungers that are housed in an elliptical reservoir to 30 psi of water pressure. We have observed leakage in the plungers that had injection molding problems. We measured the profile of the plungers and associated them with the leak data. Based on our testing and previous research, we provide design recommendations to remedy the leakage problem.
