Inspectors conduct leak testing to ascertain whether a system or object is operating within a predetermined leak limit. When an object has a flaw, such as a hole, crack, or other type of flaw, the liquid or gas it is holding can leak out. This is known as a leak. Pressure is used in leak testing to identify these flaws so that they can be fixed during routine maintenance procedures.
Leak tests are typically carried out on items that are used to hold or transport liquids or gases. One of the most commonly employed inspection techniques is leak testing which is an NDT method since inspectors can use it without causing long-term alterations to or harm to the object they're checking.
