An improved fitting assembly for analytical devices is provided. The fitting assembly includes a tube securable to a fitting component via rear and front ferrules and a nut. The fitting component includes a body having a cavity for receiving the tube and ferrules. The body also includes a channel connecting the cavity to a leak chamber defined in a space between the tube, the fitting component and the inner sidewall of the nut body, the leak chamber being in fluid communication with the exterior of the nut body via the channel in the nut body. Sealing elements are provided between the tube and nut for encouraging leaks to flow through the leak path. A method for detecting leaks in the fitting assembly is also provided.

A dual seal termination assembly having a first termination body; and a sleeve at least partially surrounding the first termination body; primary and secondary seals adapted to be fitted between the first termination body and the sleeve; a test port in the first termination body to supply test fluid to a point between the primary and secondary seals of the first termination body; the test port being adapted to receive test fluid at a predetermined pressure, such that a pressure difference is created between the point between the primary and secondary seals and a point on the other side of the primary seal and a point on the other side of the secondary seal.

An equipment inspection system performs compressed air leakage inspection on a plurality of pieces of pneumatic equipment that are connected to pipes, or pipe joints that connect the respective pipes and the plurality of pieces of pneumatic equipment, has a first branched pipe and a second branched pipe. A flow rate measurement device is provided in the second branched pipe. The flow rate measurement device measures the flow rate of the compressed air flowing in the second branched pipe.
