Compact Pressure Decay Leak Tester (FCO740)

Our next-generation compact pressure decay leak tester, with an intuitive touch screen, up to 50 test programmes and flexible communications for PLC integration

  • Automatic or manual pressure regulation
  • Up to 50 test programmes, run singly or in sequence
  • Leak resolution down to 0.1 Pa or 0.01 cc/min
  • Test pressures from vacuum up to 30 bar
  • RS232, RS485, USB, Profinet, Ethernet, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP

Reliability in Leak Testing

The FCO740 compact leak tester is the latest in a long line of Furness Controls pressure decay leak testers. It checks that manufactured parts and assemblies are air-tight by pressurising them and measuring any drop in pressure, giving a clear pass or fail result in seconds.

Housed in a compact, robust steel case, the FCO740 is equally at home as a stand-alone bench-top tester or integrated into automated assembly lines under PLC control. It uses Furness Controls' proven differential pressure measurement technology to deliver industry-leading accuracy and real-world reliability, and is available in a wide range of specifications to suit your application.

Intuitive Clear Touchscreen Display

The display is the operator's window into every test, so it has to be easy to read and easy to use. The FCO740's touch screen offers crystal-clear graphics and an intuitive menu structure, giving operators full control of up to 50 test programmes with minimal training.

  • Intuitive menu structure, so operators can set up and run tests with minimal training
  • Multiple languages, so operators can work in their own language at production sites worldwide
  • Live pressure and leak readings, test progress and pass/fail counts at a glance
  • PIN protection to stop test settings being changed by mistake

Multiple Test Methods

Precision Results

High-resolution measurement gives the FCO740 excellent repeatability, backed by strong gauge capability (Cgk) and Gauge R&R (GRR) results. You can trust every pass and fail decision, and show measurement capability to your customers and auditors.

  • Accuracy better than ±(1% of reading + 1 digit)
  • Automatic zero temperature compensation on leak measurement
  • Long-term span drift below ±1% per year
  • Internal leak tightness below 0.2 cc/hour
  • Optional front-mounted calibration port

User-programmable IO

The FCO740 is built to fit into your production line, whatever control system you use. Electrical and pneumatic inputs and outputs, plus a wide choice of communication modes, make it easy to connect to PLCs, line controllers and data collection systems.

  • Up to 12 opto-isolated control inputs and 16 PNP control outputs
  • Up to 2 programmable pneumatic outputs
  • RS232, RS485, Ethernet, Profinet, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP
  • Front-panel USB-C port
  • Optional 0–5 V or 0–10 V analogue output
