Scope

1.1 This test method covers procedures for detecting or locating leaks, or both, by bubble emission techniques. A quantitative measure is not practical. The normal limit of sensitivity for this test method is 4.5 X 10 -10 mol/s (1 X 10 -5 Std cm /s).

1.2 Two techniques are described:

1.2.1 Immersion technique, and

1.2.2 Liquid application technique.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
