Internal Vapor Analysis (IVA) is a process of ascertain the gas composition of hermetic and "air tight" devices. It is used to measure the quantity of gas inside a sealed component or product hence it ensures the durability and reliability of a product. If proper gas analysis is not done, it might cause durability problems like leakage & lubrications problems, fogging, moisture, corrosion and much more. Diverse industries use different types of methods to measure the gas and vapor inside any component and some of the best known are residual gas analyzer, infrared gas analyzer, and others.
Why IVA Test Is Important?
In the above paragraph I have already explained the need of IVA measurement, but let's discuss it in detail:
First of all the durability of the hermetic components can be directly affected if the internal gas analysis is not done. It can reduce the life as well as the functionality of these components while causing inconvenience to the user.
If proper vapor or gas analysis is not done, the hermetic components might not be able to perform up to the level. Their performance might get reduced because of moisture, fogging, corrosion or any other such issues.
If internal vapor testing is not done, it might affect the whole manufacturing process. It can reveal the inconsistency and shifts in the whole process.
Different companies use varied testing methods to analyze the quantity of the internal gas or vapor of a hermetic components. Some of them are MEL-1053: Internal Vapor Analysis - Commercial Practice, MEL- method 1018: Internal Water Vapor Content - DLA Suitability for Military Devices, MEL-1070: Gas Cylinder Analysis of Sealing Chamber Atmospheres and MEL-1080: Identification of UNKNOWN volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds by IVA/GC/MS. All these methods are used by the experienced and skilled technicians who are completely aware of such methods.
If you also deal in such business which needs internal vapor analysis, then you can contact any leading company offering these services. Though there are various options available in the market, but you cannot rely on every company. To find the best one, spend some time online and use any popular search engine to find best Internal vapor analysis companies. You will get the list of some really good companies from which you can choose the best one. But always keep in mind that the company must have good reputation in the market, it should be experienced and offer high quality services.
