Completion of the LTS MSLT Level I/II 40-hour training course will be a prerequisite.

In this course, the student will learn through demonstrations and then executing various helium mass spectrometer leak testing techniques. The object of this course is to put into practice concepts taught during the MSLT Level I/II course to better understand reliable, efficient helium MSLT techniques. Students will have the chance to:

• Operate a variety of Mass Spectrometer Leak Detectors and receive instruction on tuning, calibration and maintenance.
• Learning the fittings and hardware for leak testing manifolds (including uses of different types pumps like turbo-molecular, dry scroll, etc.)
• Pre-testing checks to ensure test reliability (e.g., leak checking manifolds, helium verification, pressure relief devices)
• Performing a variety of helium mass spectrometer techniques including hood technique, evacuated envelope, bell jar, tracer probe and detector probe.
• Qualifying various techniques through use of system calibrations
• Effective ways of introducing helium into testing including hood building methods
• Industry specific techniques for gloveboxes, Type B cask closures, heat exchangers, etc.

This course is aimed at the student pursuing certification who has completed the initial 40-hour introduction helium MSLT leak testing course in each of the applicable methods. Personnel who supervise leak testing technicians will also benefit from this course in order to better understand the leak testing process.

MSLT Level I/II is a prerequisite to this week-long course.

When taken together with the MSLT Level I/II course, it is designed to provide the SNT-TC-1A and CP-189 required classroom hours for Level II in PCMT and BT, along with a Level III preparatory review of other leak testing methods. This combination course set has proven to be a very effective means of preparing for the ASNT Level III Method Examination. This combination achieves a substantial savings in tuition, travel expense, and schedule when compared to taking each course separately. Emphasis is placed on providing test demonstrations to solidify the technical concepts discussed.

A 40-hour course that provides the basic theory behind the two most common and sensitive leak testing techniques. The course is arranged for students to witness demonstrations of these techniques and perform hands-on inspections under the supervision of the experienced leak testing personnel. The first 16 hours of the course will cover pressure change techniques and culminate with a written knowledge retention examination and student demonstration of their ability to complete a pressure change test. On day 3, students will be provided 24 hours of mass spectrometer instruction culminating in a written knowledge retention examination and student demonstration of ability to complete both a tracer probe and detector (sniffer) probe tests. Students will leave this course with a solid understanding of leak testing and confidence with handling common leak testing equipment.
