Easily control the tightness, waterproofing of your welds and sheets with the new generation BAV40IC vacuum box with interchangeable base.

The BAV40IC is an NDT vacuum box designed for internal right-angle corners, tailored for leak testing 90° internal corner welds, such as inside mechanically welded assemblies, tanks, containers, on the corners of flat roofs, terrace roofs with waterproofing membranes, and more. Its interchangeable base offers great flexibility for inspecting different surfaces and weld configurations, enabling rapid leak detection.

PRESENTATION ET APPLICATIONS

he BAV40IC is a vacuum box, also known as a bubble box, specially designed for checking the tightness of internal right-angle corners (configuration 3), for example:

  • Mechanically welded assemblies
  • Ship tanks
  • Waterproofing membranes for roofs, flat roofs, or terrace roofs
  • Any other right-angle surfaces (metallic or non-metallic) where a pressure gradient can be applied

Its two-part design consisting of the main body and an interchangeable base addresses the challenges of equipment maintainability (maintenance), versatility, and ensures good readability of indications (height of the viewing window).

Our vacuum box can operate either by compression using the venturi system or by suction using our specially adapted optional vacuum pump.

Easy Reading of Indications

The height of the interchangeable base of our bubble box creates an important gap between the main body and the surface under inspection. This provides a significant viewing window for easy and reliable reading of indications.

Vacuum by Venturi Effect

Possibility of operation in venturi effect mode by connecting a compressor either directly to the quick pneumatic system or to the 50cm cat’s head extension provided.

vacuum pump box

Vacuum by Vacuum Pump

Possibility of operation in suction mode by connecting our specially adapted optional 220v vacuum pump.

Precise Vacuum Control

The vacuum gauge (-1 Bar, CE certified) allows precise adjustment of the vacuum necessary for inspection, thanks to the venturi mode adjustment valve and our innovative regulation system for the optional vacuum pump.

Options

Hardened transport case

vacuum box rugged case BAV-40IC

To safely transport your vacuum box, we offer a hardened transport case with a machined imprint in the shape of the vacuum box to prevent any movement.

Gauge with calibration certificate

ndt leak testing

We standardly provide a CE-certified but uncalibrated gauge. Therefore, we offer an option of a calibrated gauge with a verification certificate for your standardized inspections.

Vacuum pump PAV-2209
