Abstract

The present technology is generally directed to assembling and testing ampoules, and associated systems, devices, and methods. Each ampoule can include a body portion configured to carry a marking material within an interior of the body portion, and a base portion configured to couple to the body portion to seal the interior of the body portion. The ampoules can be assembled and/or tested in an inverted orientation. In the inverted orientation, the ampoule can include a gap between the marking material and the base portion. For example, the ampoule can be positioned within a leak detection system and the ampoule's gap can be aligned with one or more leak detection components configured to analyze the gap for leak-related indicia.

Claims (30)

1. A method for assembling and testing an ampoule assembly for air leakage, the ampoule assembly having a body portion, a base portion, and a pyrophoric payload, the method comprising:

positioning the body portion, the base portion, and the pyrophoric payload in an air-free, inert environment, wherein the body portion has a closed end, an open end, and an interior area;

positioning the pyrophoric payload into the interior area of the body portion through the open end, wherein the body portion is oriented with the open end above the closed end;

attaching the base portion to the open end of the body portion with the pyrophoric payload enclosed in the interior area and with a seal formed between the base portion and the body portion, wherein the ampoule assembly is oriented in an inverted orientation with the base portion vertically above the pyrophoric payload in the interior area and with an upper surface of the pyrophoric payload being spaced apart from the base portion by a gap;

removing the ampoule assembly from the air-free, inert environment;

positioning the ampoule assembly in a testing environment that contains air, wherein the ampoule assembly is in the inverted orientation with the gap laterally adjacent to a detection component configured to detect through the body portion energy from the upper surface pyrophoric payload; and

monitoring with the laterally adjacent detection component the upper surface of the pyrophoric payload or the gap to detect light or heat energy from a reaction between air and the pyrophoric payload, wherein the reaction indicates an air leak in the seal between the base portion and the body portion.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein forming a seal comprises coupling the body portion and base portion with an adhesive to form an annular seal in a plane substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the ampoule assembly.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising moving the ampoule assembly from the air-free, inert environment to the testing environment while the ampoule assembly remains in the inverted orientation with the pyrophoric payload being carried in the body portion below the gap.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein positioning the ampoule assembly in a testing environment in the inverted orientation maintains an optical path laterally through the ampoule assembly, and the monitoring by the detection component is conducted laterally along the optical path.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting with the detection component the energy generated in the form of light or heat or both through at least part of the body portion.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising positioning the ampoule assembly in a transfer rack in the air-free, inert environment with the transfer rack supporting the ampoule assembly in the inverted position, and the transfer rack and the ampoule assembly are moved as a unit to the testing environment.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the base portion includes a magnetic material, and the ampoule assembly is positioned in the transfer rack with a tool that magnetically engages with the magnetic material in the base portion.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein positioning the ampoule assembly in the testing environment includes positioning the ampoule assembly in a pressure chamber, pressurizing air in the pressure chamber to a selected pressure above ambient pressure, and monitoring the upper surface of the pyrophoric payload or the gap while the ampoule assembly is under pressure.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein positioning the ampoule assembly in the testing environment includes positioning the ampoule assembly in a testing stand that supports the ampoule assembly in the inverted position, and positioning the testing stand and the inverted ampoule assembly as a unit in a pressure chamber with the gap of the ampoule assembly laterally aligned with the detecting component.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising pressurizing air in the pressure chamber with the ampoule assembly therein to a selected pressure above ambient pressure and monitoring the upper surface of the pyrophoric payload or the gap while the ampoule assembly is under pressure.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein the testing stand comprises a closure plate configured to sealably engage the pressure chamber, wherein the method further comprises forming a chamber door with the closure plate to sealably close the pressure chamber.

12. The method of claim 1 where the monitoring comprises using a plurality of detection components positioned in lateral alignment with the gap of the ampoule assembly for detection of the light or heat energy in the gap or along the upper surface of the pyrophoric payload from a reaction between air and the pyrophoric payload.

13. A method for testing an ampoule assembly for air leakage, the ampoule assembly having a body portion, a base portion, and a pyrophoric payload, the method comprising:

transferring the ampoule assembly from an air-free, inert environment to a testing environment containing air, wherein the base portion is sealably attached to the open end of the body portion with the pyrophoric payload contained in the body portion, wherein the ampoule assembly is oriented in an inverted orientation with the base portion vertically above the pyrophoric payload in the interior area with an upper surface of the pyrophoric payload being spaced apart from the base portion by a gap;

positioning the ampoule assembly in the testing environment with the gap in lateral alignment with a detection component, wherein the detection component is configured to detect energy emission from the pyrophoric payload; and

monitoring with the detection component the upper surface of the pyrophoric payload or the gap to detect light or heat energy from a reaction between air and the pyrophoric payload while the ampoule assembly remains in the inverted position, wherein the reaction indicates an air leak in the seal between the base portion and the body portion.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising forming an annular seal between the body portion and base portion in a plane substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the ampoule assembly.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising moving the ampoule assembly from the air-free, inert environment to the testing environment while the ampoule assembly remains in the inverted orientation.

16. The method of claim 13 wherein positioning the ampoule assembly in the testing environment in the inverted orientation maintains an optical path laterally through the ampoule assembly, and the monitoring by the detection component is conducted laterally along the optical path.

17. The method of claim 13 , further comprising positioning the ampoule assembly in a transfer rack in the air-free, inert environment with the transfer rack supporting the ampoule assembly in the inverted position, and the transfer rack and the ampoule assembly are moved as a unit to the testing environment.

18. The method of claim 13 wherein positioning the ampoule assembly in a testing environment includes positioning the ampoule assembly in a pressure chamber, pressurizing air in the pressure chamber to a pressure above ambient pressure, and monitoring the upper surface of the pyrophoric payload or the gap while the ampoule assembly is under pressure.

19. The method of claim 13 wherein positioning the ampoule assembly in a testing environment includes positioning the ampoule assembly in a testing stand that supports the ampoule assembly in the inverted position, and positioning the testing stand and the inverted ampoule assembly as a unit in a pressure chamber with the gap of the ampoule assembly laterally aligned with the detecting component.
