Since 1963 Uson has set the bar for leak testing technology. Established in Houston, Texas by Rice University graduate William J. Raptson Jr., Uson is the world leader in the design and manufacture of leak test equipment and is regarded as the pioneer of modern leak testing. Uson’s first major business venture was marketing a gas sensing leak detector developed by U.S. Naval Research Laboratories. Little did Mr. Rapson know that this was the catalyst for Uson setting industry standards for the next 60 years.
In addition to celebrating 60 years of leak testing excellence with a brand-new website, we also want to celebrate 60 years of “Firsts” in our industry. These Firsts elevated standards for testing technology enabling manufacturers around the world to bring the safest and highest quality products to their customers.
Over the last 10 years Uson has introduced the Sprint family of tabletop testers with the most recent model being the Sprint mD. This tester combines the best of Uson innovation into a versatile, powerful tabletop unit. The Sprint mD offers enhanced communication protocols and advanced security features that have made it the preferred leak tester for hundreds of medical device manufacturers around the world.

This unparalleled experience and insight are passed-on to our customers through leak testing equipment and systems capable of solving their most complex testing challenges.
