Who We Are?

Spectro Physics was founded in 2003, after seeing a universal need throughout industry for improved leak detection equipment, methodologies, throughput, and reliability. This came after a decade of solving one leak check problem after another, correcting misconceptions about leak detection, and evaluating literally tens of thousands of test strip-chart recordings and identifying every component of each test.

Discovered, was a core of leak detection challenges that are universal in almost all leak detection applications. From these, specialized hardware and software algorithms were developed, tested, and are now used in almost every application. An independent study by a large user of this equipment found our test reliability (ie. not passing a bad part), to be 1:100,000,000.

Hardware and software have continued to improve as flaws or additional needs have become known. Spectro Physics has always valued the experiences of the operators and maintenance technicians and has made many improvements based on their input. Making machines intuitive and easy to operate and making them easy to maintain as well, is not enough unless they also meet throughput requirements, have high operational availability, and are traceable.

After years of suppling leak testing solutions, we were noticing customers were having trouble with calibrated leaks and calibration services. All too often, new calibrated leaks would arrive not leaking at the leak rate stated on their calibration sticker and certificate. We also found this happening when a calibrated leak went out for re-calibration. After waiting much too long, the leak would return reading incorrectly. This was not a business we pursued, but because of customer need Spectro Physics has become an A2LA accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration laboratory offering a wide array of calibrated leaks and calibration services.
