Test Principle
A solvent can be chosen from available solvent channels and a maximum target
pressure can be defined at which the test will be run. Typically, this is the
maximum pressure specified for the pump. The test can be run with any solvent
compatible to the pump.
Before the test, the pump is flushed with solvent in order to remove air bubbles,
as air bubbles are compressed during the test and therefore would appear as
leaks. Using a degasser is highly recommended.
