- What it is about:
- Verification of the airtightness and strength of equipment and systems through the application of air or gas pressure.
- How it is done:
- The equipment is pressurized with air or gas, and it is checked for leaks or permanent deformations. Manometers and other measuring instruments are used to monitor pressure and detect leaks.
- Where it applies:
- In the oil and petrochemical industry, construction, automotive, aerospace, pipeline and gas systems, pressure vessels, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. In general, in any sector where the integrity of gas-pressurized systems is critical for safety and efficiency.
