  • Publication number: 20250035504
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present utility model is a device for testing gas tightness of a bipolar plate. The device includes a fixing assembly and a liquid placing plate. The fixing assembly includes a base plate and a cover plate. The base plate and the cover plate are arranged opposite to each other, and a test space capable of accommodating a bipolar plate is formed between the base plate and the cover plate. The base plate or the cover plate is provided with a gas inlet for gas to enter the test space. The liquid placing plate is arranged in the test space and arranged to be stacked on the plate surface of the bipolar plate facing away from the gas inlet. The liquid placing plate is provided with a plurality of liquid placing recesses capable of containing liquid. The liquid placing recesses pass through opposite plate surfaces of the liquid placing plate.
