Leak Test Throughput at 98% leak-test station efficiency: a worked example

This scenario runs the leak test throughput calculation on the strong side: 98% leak-test station efficiency, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when sizing leak test capacity for a production run, reviewing whether the test station is a bottleneck, or quoting lead time for a hose assembly order.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Assemblies leak-tested and released: 480 assemblies (unchanged)
  • Leak-test station runtime: 8 hr (unchanged)
  • Leak-test station efficiency: 98 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 85)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Raw leak test throughput = assemblies tested / test station runtime) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 58.8 assemblies / hr for effective leak test throughput, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 60 assemblies / hr for raw leak test throughput.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 98 % for test station efficiency.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8 hr for test station runtime.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where leak-test station efficiency sits at 85% and the headline result is 51 assemblies / hr, this scenario comes in 15.29% above the baseline at 58.8 assemblies / hr.
  • Use it to size a leak-test cell against upstream crimp output or to validate a per-hour rate before quoting test capacity. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Effective leak test throughput: 58.8 assemblies / hr (headline result)
  • Raw leak test throughput: 60 assemblies / hr
  • Test station efficiency: 98 %
  • Test station runtime: 8 hr
