FUKUDA Concept:
Generally speaking, pressure is defines as “the amount of force applied
per unit of area.”
This seems to be a very small amount of force. However, when you look
at the big picture, this can represent a significant amount of power that is
very useful to people.
For example, the difference in pressure generated between topside wing and underside wing of an airplane (referred to as Differential Pressure) may be
very small. But this represents enormous power when considering the total wing
span area. A jumbo jet with a wing area of 511m² is able to generate a
differential pressure of 74 g/ cm². As a result, a force of 377 tons is
generated which is sufficient to lift the jumbo jet off the ground. In other
words, a differential pressure of 74 g is enough to get a 377-ton jumbo jet
(with passengers) airborne. You can even say that an airplane is in face a
differential pressure generator.
Pressure alone has limited uses. However, when applied as differential
pressure, it can become an enormous source of energy and exert many functional
services. In line with this, ships, steam engines, cars and airplanes all
function by utilizing differential pressure.
Technologies
requiring measurement exist in unsuspecting places.
There are various kinds of pressure in our daily lives. Pressure exists
in cars, air conditioners, and mobile phones. It exists in production
factories, civil engineering and construction sites, environmental and
pollution assessment, medical examinations, and space exploration by space
shuttles.
FUKUDA
support our daily lives in unsuspecting places.
Several components of our daily life must be free of leakage, or be airtight. Examples of these include/l gas appliances, water pipes, car engines,
brakes, refreshment cans, PET bottles, syringes, medicine bottles, air
conditioners, mobile phones and electronic components.
FUKUDA has for many years continued to supply industrial measuring equipment such as pressure testers, leak testers and flow meters to various industry areas such as: automotive, electronics, house-hold appliances,
medical equipment, food, office equipment and precision apparatus.
FUKUDA’s measuring equipment support, a safe set of standards for manufacturers
and users by avoiding risks caused by a lack of airtight environments,
dangerous events or operational errors.
As environmental awareness, use of resources and safety all continue to
form core areas of concern, FUKUDA endeavors to present its customers with a
solution service by offering maintenance and improvements for a measured
environment.
Company Profile:
FUKUDA CO., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “FUKUDA”) www.fukuda-jp.com was established in 1962 
as a
developer and manufacturer of medical and industrial sensors. FUKUDA has
foreseen the importance of quality control and dedicated to the development of Air
Leak Testers, which can be easily automated and produce repeatable results with
very low pressure drop.
In
2003, FUKUDA was merged into NAGANO KEIKI CO., LTD (hereinafter referred to as
“NKS”) group, a world leading manufacturer of pressure gauges and pressure
sensors. This combination creates a strong business entity in precision
machinery industry and provides enhanced products and services to customers
worldwide.
FUKUDA
is a world leader in producing Air Leak Testers with various technologies
including: a heat compression, elimination system, a temperature compensation
system (that does not use thermometers) and a virtual measurement technology
complete with a measurement standard based on computer data.
FUKUDA
is currently focusing efforts on Differential Pressure, and the company has
accepted the challenge of collecting diverse and microscopic information
existing on a molecular scale.
FUKUDA
is always dedicated time and money to improving the technology of air testing.
Currently, the Research and Development Department of FUKUDA has standardized Helium
system machine and reduce cost to benefit customers.
