Vacuum Decay Test

Vacuum decay testing is a method used to verify the sealing integrity of a component (such as a process vessel) or part. The vacuum decay test monitors the test specimen to detect leakage from an external source into the specimen’s housing or casing. This test is in contrast to pressure leak... View Full Term
