inspection-and-assembly-manufacturing-processes > Air Decay Pressure Testing

This category includes all methods where a part is pressurised with air then isolated from the supply source.

 

The rate at which the air leaks out is monitored by the drop of pressure within the part. This information is useful in calculating leak rate.

 

Air Decay Pressure Testing is a simple and cheap way of detecting leaks and is particularly useful for detecting very small leaks.
