CETA Testsysteme GmbH is a manufacturer of test devices “Made in Germany” and a reliable solution partner in industrial leak and flow testing for over 35 years. With several thousand test devices in use worldwide, CETA helps to ensure quality assurance in the industry. The product range includes leak, volume flow and mass flow testers, digital pressure manometers as well as calibration standards and material for test stations. CETA test devices can detect leak rates down to 10-3 mbar*l/s and measure flow rates from 3 ml/min to 200 l/min.
Compressed air, which is available in production facilities worldwide, is used as the test medium. The test methods used are objective, quantitative and can be easily integrated into automated production lines. Compared to testing in a water bath, compressed air testing offers the advantage that the products are not wetted and can therefore be processed, packaged and delivered immediately.
The dynamic viscosity of air (value 18*10-6 Pa*s) is more than 50 times smaller than that of water (value 1138*10-6 Pa*s) based on 1013 hPa and 15°C. This means that compressed air is often used for testing for water and media tightness and can be used down to leak rates of 10-3 mbar l/s, corresponding to 0.06 cm³/min.
CETA test devices are used for quality control in a wide range of medical products. These include directly fillable products such as pipettes, cannulas, syringes, filter elements, electrical connectors, tube connectors, insulin pumps and valves, as well as encapsulated products such as packaging and sensors. In addition, flow rates through filters, membranes, pipettes and tubes can be measured and the dimensional accuracy of pipes, tubes or channels can be determined. Pressure tests and functional checks are also possible, such as determining the opening and closing point of pressure-operated valves. Depending on the requirements and the test parameters (test pressure and leak rate), a suitable test device and its technical configuration are selected.
In addition to the test devices, CETA offers a comprehensive service package that includes application consulting, feasibility studies, application support, commissioning, training, online seminars and technical service for CETA test devices.
The CETA calibration laboratory is accredited by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS) in accordance to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 for the measurands pressure, flow rate in gases, leak rate of gases and helium leak rate.
All test devices and calibration standards are supplied with a DAkkS-accredited and internationally recognised calibration certificate at no extra charge. In addition, the test devices are delivered with a 3-year warranty (with annual maintenance), extendable to 5 years.
CETA exhibits at the world's largest medical technology trade fair MEDICA 2024 (11.-14.11.2024) in Düsseldorf (NRW community stand C80, hall 3). At the trade fair, CETA will demonstrate leak testing of an encapsulated product using a table-top fixture and a CETATEST 825 differential pressure leak tester.
In addition, CETA has a lecture on the quality control of medical devices: Leak and Flow Testing of Medical Devices in the Manufacturing Process - as part of the stage program of the community stand.
