About Vacuum Instrument Corporation and
VIC Leak Detection
Vacuum Instrument Corporation (VIC) is
the world's largest company devoted solely to research and
design, manufacture, distribution, training and service of leak
detectors and complete leak detector solutions. Founded in 1958
as Vacuum Instrument Corporation, VIC introduced the first
portable helium leak detector in 1967, went on to develop the
first fully automatic industrial leak detection system in 1978,
and the first “sniff only” helium leak detector in
1990. In 1994 VIC was selected by the National Center for
Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) to join a consortium of leading
research laboratories and Fortune 50 companies to develop the
next generation of leak detection technology. In 2000, Vacuum
Instrument Corporation acquired the Leak Detection Division of
Veeco Instruments Inc. (Plainview, NY). This division was
reorganized as the Vacuum Metrology Division. VIC’s
Industrial Leak Detection, Air Leak Testing, and Vacuum
Metrology Divisions combine their engineering, manufacturing,
and marketing resources as VIC Leak Detection.
VIC has the world's largest base of
installed leak detectors. More than one billion products have
been tested with VIC’s portable vacuum-type helium
sniffers, general purpose helium leak detectors, mass flow and
pressure decay systems, and complete turnkey leak detection
solutions. VIC employs more
than 120 people at its corporate
