Easily control the tightness, waterproofing of your welds and sheets with the new generation BAV4025IA vacuum box with interchangeable base.

The BAV4025IA is an NDT vacuum box for internal right angles, designed for leak testing 90° internal corner welds, such as inside storage tanks to inspect the shell-to-bottom joint, and also in all types of tanks and containers across various industrial sectors. Its interchangeable base offers great flexibility for inspecting different surfaces and weld configurations, enabling rapid leak detection.

PRESENTATION ET APPLICATIONS

The BAV4025IA is a vacuum box, also known as a bubble box, specially designed for checking the tightness of internal right-angle surfaces (configuration 2), for example:

  • Storage tanks with a curvature radius greater than 2.5 meters:
    • Bottom shell to cylinder junction with a curvature radius greater than 2.5 meters
    • Ship tanks
  • Waterproofing membranes for roofs, flat roofs, or terrace roofs
  • Any other right-angle surfaces (metallic or non-metallic) where a pressure gradient can be applied

Its two-part design consisting of the main body and an interchangeable base addresses the challenges of equipment maintainability (maintenance), versatility, and ensures good readability of indications (height of the viewing window).

The BAV-4025IA vacuum box can optionally accommodate the internal corner base of the BAV-4025 (configuration 1) to enhance its inspection capabilities.

Our vacuum box can operate either by compression using the venturi system or by suction using our specially adapted optional vacuum pump.

Interchangeable Bases

The base of our BAV-4025IA vacuum box is designed to adapt to internal right angles. The interchangeability of the base allows you to keep the same body and change the type of base according to your inspection setup.

Easy Reading of Indications

The height of the interchangeable base of our bubble box creates an important gap between the main body and the surface under inspection. This provides a significant viewing window for easy and reliable reading of indications.

Vacuum by Venturi Effect

Possibility of operation in venturi effect mode by connecting a compressor either directly to the quick pneumatic system or to the 50cm cat’s head extension provided.

vacuum pump box

Vacuum by Vacuum Pump

Possibility of operation in suction mode by connecting our specially adapted optional 220v vacuum pump.

Precise Vacuum Control

The vacuum gauge (-1 Bar, CE certified) allows precise adjustment of the vacuum necessary for inspection, thanks to the venturi mode adjustment valve and our innovative regulation system for the optional vacuum pump.

Options

Hardened transport case

vacuum box rugged case

To safely transport your vacuum box, we offer a hardened transport case with a machined imprint in the shape of the vacuum box to prevent any movement.

Gauge with calibration certificate
