The invention discloses a testing apparatus for plastic airtightness and a method thereof. The apparatus comprises an
air pump, a pressure reducing valve, an
air filter, an air inlet on-off valve, a
high pressure element, a
differential pressure measuring element, an air
pipe, a testing chamber, a reference chamber and a three-way
cutting sleeve
ball valve. The testing chamber is composed of a
high pressure chamber, a low pressure chamber, a sealing ring, and a plastic sample. The reference chamber consists of a
high pressure chamber, a low pressure chamber, a sealing ring and a reference iron sheet sample. And the structural size of the testing chamber is identical with that of the reference chamber. According the above-mentioned technical scheme in the invention, the reference chamber is arranged and the size of the reference chamber is completely identical with that of the testing chamber, so that the two chambers can be contrasted and a
system error can be reduced; besides, an initial testing pressure of the low pressure chamber is an
atmospheric pressure, so that an occurrence of an air leakage phenomenon can be reduced; and there is no need for
vacuum pumping, apparatus investment can be reduced, and energy can be saved.
