Internal right angle Vacuum Box for Leak Testing with Interchangeable Base (BAV-4025IA)
Non-contractual photo
Easily control the tightness, waterproofing of your welds and sheets with the new generation BAV4025IA vacuum box with interchangeable base.
The BAV4025IA is an NDT vacuum box for internal right angles, designed for leak testing 90° internal corner welds, such as inside storage tanks to inspect the shell-to-bottom joint, and also in all types of tanks and containers across various industrial sectors. Its interchangeable base offers great flexibility for inspecting different surfaces and weld configurations, enabling rapid leak detection.
PRESENTATION ET APPLICATIONS
The BAV4025IA is a vacuum box, also known as a bubble box, specially designed for checking the tightness of internal right-angle surfaces (configuration 2), for example:
- Storage tanks with a curvature radius greater than 2.5 meters:
- Bottom shell to cylinder junction with a curvature radius greater than 2.5 meters
- 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).
The BAV-4025IA vacuum box can optionally accommodate the internal corner base of the BAV-4025 (configuration 1) to enhance its inspection capabilities.
Our vacuum box can operate either by compression using the venturi system or by suction using our specially adapted optional vacuum pump.
KIT COMPOSITION (excluding options):
- Main body/reading chamber comprising:
- Handling grips
- Vacuum gauge
- Hybrid vacuum system:
- By venturi effect / using a compressor
- By suction / using a vacuum pump
- Vacuum adjustment valve for:
- Flow limitation when using a compressor
- Leakage flow when using a vacuum pump
- Quick base attachment system
- 50 cm extension with a quick female connector to cat’s head (Vacuum by venturi effect / compressor)
- Interchangeable internal right angle base comprising:
- Seal between the reading chamber and the base
- Interface foam with the surface under inspection
AVANTAGES
Performance
High viewing window for clear and reliable reading of indications
Versatility
Capability to operate in venturi effect mode (by compressor) or by suction (vacuum pump).
Durable and resistant foam
Triangular geometry to increase relative pressure on the foam and allow maximum deformation on the surface of the inspection area.
FEATURES
Two-Part Modular Design
Interchangeable Bases
Easy Reading of Indications
Vacuum by Venturi Effect
Vacuum by Vacuum Pump
Options
Hardened transport case
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
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
To use the vacuum box in suction mode with a vacuum pump. We offer a customized 220V 9CFM vacuum pump adapted for field conditions. The optional “vacuum pump” pack includes a 2-meter pneumatic hose with our innovative flow regulation and rapid depressurization
Additional sole for flat surfaces
This option allows you to keep the body of your BAV-4025IA vacuum box and equip it with this base for inspecting flat surfaces (see control configuration no. 1 at the top of the page). Custom-made bases can be produced upon request.
