Get quantitative measurements
Ensure functional tightness
Achieve long-term performance
As demand for water-tight joints surges, there’s a growing need for accurate testing methods that can reliably measure leak rates and provide statistical evidence of water tightness in automotive applications.
To ensure verified water tightness for PROFIL® Mechanically Attached Fasteners (MAF), we use a vacuum leak testing method with helium as the test gas. This process not only delivers fast response times but can measure even the smallest leak rates up to 10-9 mbar∙l/s.
Water-Tight Seals
Vacuum leak testing can verify a reliable, leak-proof seal for fasteners used in different panel thicknesses and materials like aluminum and steel.
Testing for All Applications
Get flexibility in testing different part sizes and a variety of applications for under body, upper body, closures, chassis, seating, and battery housing.
Superior to Other Leak Test Methods
Other leak testing methods are difficult to integrate into the production process and lack the ability to provide accurate, repeatable quantitative results.
Efficient In-Die Installation
PROFIL® fasteners install directly in-die, eliminating costly secondary welding operations that can also jeopardize application performance.
No Coating or KTL Effect
With PROFIL® fastening solutions, you can install a coated fastener into a panel without disturbing the coating or KTL of either part.
