T8990, “Advanced” Absolute Pressure Decay Leak Tester

The new Fortest T8990 leak tester was designed to improve what was considered the best device in ForTest's history, the M8990.
The new video controller “ForTest MMI” brought a superior level of human-machine interaction, thanks to an innovative capacitive panel in tempered glass, around a splendid 6.2” colour display.

Parameter programming is much faster thanks to the new numerical keyboard integrated in the menus, and the big display makes viewing even clearer of the test cycle.

The main screen also enables interaction with shortcut functions, such as test program change, "smart" test archive menu and locking/unlocking using a password.

Limitless connectivity.

The new T8990 equipment includes ports for the USB slave, RS232, RS485, Profinet , EtherNet IP and EtherCAT. Assembly may also include an optional Ethernet port and a 26-pole connector with 4 inputs and 8 outputs, which are completely programmable, for interfacing with the external valves, safety barriers, switches, etc...

The front panel has a master USB port assembled on it for connection to a USB key to save the tests conducted, backup/restore parameters and upgrade tool firmware.
The connection to thermal printers, barcode/data-matrix readers and markers takes place automatically using an internal menu.

Always better measurements.

The test cycle was further accelerated thanks to processor and coprocessor interaction, maintaining the reliability that has always made ForTest unique.

We can say with certainty that T8990 prevails as of the most advanced measurement units in the world, thanks to the centering technology in windows and the double Faraday optical-isolated cage, which reduces the settling times under 18ms.
This gives a real measurement resolution of 0.1 Pa at 1 bar (0.5 Pa at 6 bar), stable and noise-free.

Optimized pneumatic section.

Assembly of the latest generation solenoid valves has enabled a 30% increase in the filling speed compared to the previous model, maintaining reliability unaltered over time. Our tools do not require expensive maintenance in the pneumatic department. Actually, our objective is to make them increasingly reliable and long-lasting.

Innovative design.

What appears to be a simple design, in fact hides an in-depth study to make use and understanding of the tool as simple as possible.

The front panel is made of a single sheet of tempered glass and aluminium, which makes it extremely easy to clean, making the T8990 suitable for use in the laboratory and on the production line.

The extensive internal menus are easy to understand and the graphic interface was designed to only display important information.
Everything is exactly where it should be.
