● What is a pneumatic regulator? It is a self-developed pneumatic regulator with a control reproducibility of ±0.1%. We offer a wide range of products from low flow to high flow. ● What is a regulator? Please use it to adjust the test pressure for leak testing. By supplying a stable test pressure, it enables more accurate measurements.

Fukuda Co., Ltd. has been pursuing leak detection for 60 years and is committed to advancing the future of leak testing. 【 Supporting Various Leak Tests: Air Leak Test / Gas Leak Test (Hydrogen Gas, Helium Gas) 】 We develop, manufacture, and sell leak testing equipment to inspect airtightness and sealing properties. We will propose the appropriate testers and devices for each inspection target. 【 Target Industries and Examples of Inspection Targets 】 - Automotive Industry: Engines, FC components, valves and piping, various parts - Electronic Components Industry: Smartphones, keyless switches, various small sensors - Pharmaceuticals / Food / Cosmetics Industry: Bottle containers, syringes, vials, eye drop containers, pillow packaging, PTP packaging We will propose the most suitable leak testers for each industry. 【 ISO Certification 】JIS Q 9001:2015 (ISO 9001:2015)

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm.
