🔎 A lot of our products go through a helium leak test prior to shipment! 🔎

We spray helium gas at the seals to determine if they are leak tight or if they have any tiny holes in or between the materials.

At Torr Scientific, we manufacture products for vacuum, but there are various definitions for what a vacuum is!

The strictest definition is ‘an area which is devoid of matter’, however this is quite unrealistic to achieve!

Here at Torr one of our specialities is the application of thin film coatings!

Thin film coatings are defined as layers of material applied to a substrate, typically with a thickness ranging from nanometres to several micrometres.
