I have a customer having problems with vacuum leaks (-50 kpa or so range) in equipment that they manufacture. I expect their problem is with connectors and seals, and they have asked for help to locate and correct the problem. Seems simple enough to sniff around with a tiny microphone. Thought...why not develop a simple handheld field tester...PIC...active filtering...LED bargraph...etc Unknowns...are there audio signatures that would allow this...has it already been cheaply and efficiently done... Appreciate any input. Regards/Roger, in Bangkok Roger N. Shane Suncolor Co., Ltd. P.O.
