ABSTRACT:
A method of testing a product for leaks includes applying to the product a reference pressure that is less than 50.6 KPa. The method also includes developing a gas flow through a leak detection sensor in response to applying the reference pressure to the product. Another step of the method includes determining, based upon the gas flow between the product and the pressure system, whether the product leaked an unacceptable amount during the test period.
