Leak testing is a non destructive method to verify the presence of a leak in a component or device.

The presence of a leakage could jeopardize the correct functioning of the component or device or its life span, and also be potentially dangerous for the environment and for the safety of its user.

There are different methods to verify the presence of a leakage, from the traditional immersion of the component in a water tank, to the pressure decay detection in pressurized parts up to the use of tracing gas.

It is quite common to get together leak tests and functional checks in the same work island.
