leak test
Hunt for breaches
A leak test is a procedure to detect unwanted escape of gas, liquid, or pressure from a sealed system.
Manufacturers and mechanics perform leak tests on everything from fuel lines to vacuum chambers: The plumber did a leak test on the new pipes before sealing the wall.
Methods range from simple soap bubble tests to sophisticated pressure decay measurements.
