subject: Krypton 85 [print this page] Why you should understand the Test Method & Specification of Krypton 85?
The Krypton-85 Leak Testing method is a highly sensitive technique used to measure fine and gross leak rates in high reliability devices. It is the preferred method to characterize small leak rates in critical military components.
The technique was developed in the 1950s and is still in use today for evaluating military hybrids, commercial sensors, medical implants, silicon based MEMS packaging applications and many others.
The advantages of Krypton 85 over other methods include extremely fast test times, lower overall testing cost, lower leak rate detection (
