Leak Leak Test

The leak test, or leak test, is a non-destructive test method to check a system for leaks, verify the tightness of components, and pinpoint leaks.

Benefits of Leak Testing

• Quality control according to international norms and local regulations
• Verification of design criteria of products and objects
• Reliable method to detect even the smallest leaks
• Cost effective leak testing of individual components

About Leak Test

The leak test or leak test is based on the detection of leaks using liquid or gas as the test medium. In this way, openings where solids, liquids or gases can enter or exit unintentionally can be detected, the leak rate can be measured and the exact leak location can be determined. The leak test is used to verify the tightness of samples. 

Leak testing plays an important role, especially in production, because a wide variety of products and systems such as pressure vessels, welded and bolted connections or tanks in different industries require a certain level of tightness. Due to the different applications, various leak test methods have been created.

EUROLAB performs leak tests using the following methods:

• Bubble emission due to pressure change
• Tracer gas methods: This Leak test method is used for the tightness verification of pressure vessels, welded and bolted connections, tanks in different industries. The exact leak position can be defined.

The following equipment and materials are used for leak testing:

• Foam solution MR99
• Helium leak detector Helitest
• Absolute pressure gauges Membranovac

EUROLAB offers tightness testing according to the following standards:

• EN 1593 - bubble emission method
• EN 13184 - pressure change method
• EN 13185 - tracer gas method
• ПНАЭ Г-7-019-89 - liquid and gas leak test methods for equipment and piping of nuclear power plants
• Certified personnel according to ISO 9712 requirements

EUROLAB, with its highly expert team and internationally accredited laboratories, Leak Leak Test It performs all test, analysis, measurement, evaluation and report generation services completely and reliably.
