ABSTRACT:
A method for testing leakage from an element, such as a container. The element to be tested is sealed within an enclosure so as to define a reduced volume space in the enclosure around the container. An increase in the pressure in the surrounding space is detected as a function of the amount of leakage of high pressure fluid from the container to that space. Reduced temperature sensitivity is effected by reducing the pressure in the space. However, the device functions to improve sensitivity where the space is provided at ambient pressure at the start of the test cycle, as well. The apparatus may include a control for effecting the leakage testing automatically and indicating to the user the result of the testing as desired.
