1.3.3 Desorption, diffusion, permeation and leaks. In addition to water, other substances such as vacuum pump operating fluids can be adsorbed on surfaces. Substances can also diffuse out of the metal walls, which can be evidenced in the residual gas. In the case of particularly rigorous requirements, stainless steel vessels can be baked out ...

connected to the vacuum pump system. Helium leaking from the hood into the test object is detected by the leak detector. This test permit the determination of a total leakage rate for the entire system. The porosity of almost any material, including metals and ceramics, can be measured by this method. Page 54.

A helium leak detector, also known as a Mass Spectrometer Leak Detector (MSLD), is used to locate and measure the size of leaks into or out of a system or containing device. The tracer gas, helium, is introduced to a test part that is connected to the leak detector. Helium leak testing is used to find small leaks or larger leaks in bigger volumes.

The pumping speed for helium is about 20% higher than that for nitrogen, but the compression ratio is much lower. Therefore if the pump is to be used to pump helium from a vacuum space it is best to use a two stage rotary pump, so that the backing pressure is as low as possible. A diffusion pump is still better at pumping helium!
