How to Pressure Test Natural Gas and Propane Lines Correctly! If test is good- bleed off test pressure. Connect shut off valves and appliance connections.
Use gas leak detector soap, to verify no connection leakage. Leaks are pictured as going from positive pressure (inside an object) to .
Helium is one of the smallest gas molecules and is inert, (remember your periodic table from Chemistry?).
Being inert it is relatively safe to use (rather than hydrogen) and will not react with any of the materials within the part to be tested.
Leak Testing The Basic Priciples. For tightness testing of gas pipework and also for checking and setting domestic or commercial appliances to the correct gas pressure. Use at up to bar pressure on underfloor heating systems, commercial water and pipe work installations. Designed for checking possible leaks of dangerous combustion. It can detect much smaller leaks due to the size of the test gas molecules.
The leak detection mix is compatible with all standard pressure testing .
