  • Page 95: Interval (Min)

     Principally, a leak test in the overpressure range would also be possible with the pressure rise method. The leak rate would then be negative, since the leakage is leaving the test volume. Because of the principal temperature dependence of the test pressure large measuring errors can thereby arise, which require an experienced operator, so that all in all the pressure rise method in the vacuum range is more recommendable.
