Solving a Catheter Seal Integrity Challenge with Autocouple Devices

February 7, 2012 9:46 am | by Joe Pustka | Articles | Comments

Finding the best connections between parts to be leak tested and leak detection equipment is an inherent challenge to leak test system designs. Flat pad surface seals have a potential to mask leakage by holding parts together with leaking seams. Autocouplers that seal catheters at the distal end are a good example of best practice sealing devices for several reasons.
