Leak Test Machines and Fixtures
Home > Projects
Project overview
Incotech design and manufacture bespoke leak testing machines and fixtures to verify the integrity of components across a range of industries.
The challenge is to provide accurate, repeatable leak detection while accommodating a variety of component geometries, test media, and automation requirements.
the solution
Incotech delivers custom leak testing solutions tailored to the specific requirements of each application:
-
Pressure Decay Testing – Components are pressurised with low-pressure air, sealed, and monitored for pressure drop to determine pass/fail.
-
Automated Fixtures – Systems include component clamping, actuated sealing devices, safety enclosures, and pass/fail indication or part marking.
-
Flexible Test Media – Depending on the application, tests can use air, water, oil, nitrogen, or helium.
-
Manual Instruments – Incotech also manufactures basic leak testing instruments for manual, offline testing of standalone components.
-
Bespoke Engineering – Each system is designed to suit component size, geometry, and production requirements.

‘I just wanted to send you a message to thank all at Incotech for their support and dedication to the leak test fixture that you have delivered against our very difficult timing plans. The customer was very pleased with the fixture that you produced and we had good feedback on our process. Once again thank you all at Incotech for their hard work on this.’
MARC PIDGEON - COMMODITY BUYER
‘I want to personally thank you all for your efforts and the work that has been completed both on the test stand design, implementing the great changes to the current rig design process, the validation of the test stand, both within India, and the UK. As well as the smooth transport and installation in India.’
‘I just wanted to thank you very much for the excellent response to our ‘plea for help’. Your swift response to repair our Middlemarch Dyno, meant we were able to carry out some extra testing for our crucial customer deadline on a Friday evening. This made a huge difference to the data we submitted and I am very grateful for your support to achieve this.’
