How to Improve Quality Control by Managing a Drifting Zero Point during Air Leak Testing

Why zero drift occurs and ways to mitigate or even eliminate it.
Anne-Marie Dewailly
March 25, 2024

Plant engineers and quality departments often struggle with zero point drift during air leak testing, where the initial zero reading shifts over time, leading to frequent adjustments of the leak test instrument. This article addresses the causes of zero drift, commonly attributed to changes in shop floor temperature, and provides strategies to minimize or eliminate this issue for improved efficiency in quality control processes.
