    摘要: The invention relates to a method for detecting leakage of a hollow component, comprising the steps of sealing said hollow component (1, 31), creating a pressure difference P1 and P2 between said hollow component interior and an adjacent compartment/enclosure (2, 32), putting a tracer gas in one of the hollow component or said compartment/enclosure, waiting for an enriching time T and then carrying out a step of transferring, via a non-selective or selective restriction (6, 7; 49), the content of said hollow component or said compartment/enclosure (2; 32) into which tracer gas has not been put, in order to concentrate, in a volume downstream of said restriction (6, 7; 49), the tracer gas that said content may possibly contain, and then in looking for the presence of tracer gas in said volume. The invention also relates to an installation for implementing the method.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for analyzing a battery case, specifically, to the apparatus for analyzing the durability of various types of battery case, such as a pouch type or can type.
    The apparatus comprises a first plate which is in close contact with an outer surface of a first sheet, the first sheet forming one side of the battery case; a gas injection tube which is inserted into the battery case while penetrating through the first plate and extends along an inner surface of the first sheet; and a pressure gauge which is connected to the gas injection tube.

    摘要: A device is disclosed herein. The device comprises a housing, a gas, an antenna, and a control module. The housing defines and hermetically seals an interior cavity. The gas is contained within the interior cavity of the housing at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure. At least a portion of the antenna is within the interior cavity of the housing. The control module is operably coupled with the antenna to transmit an incident radio wave into the interior cavity of the housing and receive a reflected radio wave within the interior cavity of the housing. The control module is configured to determine a resonance frequency of the interior cavity of the housing based on, at least partially, the reflected radio wave, and determine the pressure of the gas contained within the interior cavity of the housing based on, at least partially, the resonance frequency of the interior cavity of the housing.
