When to Specify Vacuum Pressure Impregnation for Custom Parts
Specify VPI when cast, sintered or wound components fail leak testing, show connected porosity, require pressure-tight performance or need resin sealing without dimensional changes from welding, coating or redesign.
- Aluminum or zinc die castings need sealed porosity for fuel, oil, coolant, air or hydraulic media.
- Hydraulic manifolds, pump bodies, compressor housings or valve blocks require pressure-tight service.
- Sintered metal, investment castings or porous machined blanks need internal leak paths filled.
- Motor stators, electrical windings or assemblies need resin sealing for insulation and reliability.
- Drawings specify MIL-STD-276A, ASTM E165, leak testing, pressure testing, dye penetrant or process records.
