The reference answer can be seen after *replying*; points will be awarded for identifying the key points. (Unless otherwise specified, all questions and answers are based on hydrogenation units.) ) Leak testing and pressure testing are two distinct tasks: leak testing is used to check the tightness of a container, while pressure testing is used to verify the strength of the container. Leak testing refers to the airtightness test that must be carried out each time the device is opened. The test pressure is 1.0 times the maximum operating pressure; air, ammonia, or other inert gases can be used as the testing medium. The pressure should be increased gradually to 10% of the specified test pressure, and then held at that level for 5 minutes, during which time all welds and connection points are inspected. If no leaks are detected, the pressure is increased further to 50%. If there are no abnormalities, the pressure is raised in steps of 10% of the specified test pressure until the target pressure is reached, after which it is held for 30 minutes for further inspection. Scoring criteria: 2 Wealth points for incorrect attempts; 3–8 points for *incomplete* answers. 10 Wealth points for correct answers, provided with detailed explanations; 15–20 Wealth points if the answer is correct but lacks sufficient details. Please score according to these criteria. Note: If there are editing records after answering, only those who participated will be given points. For continuous malicious spamming, 2 points will be deducted each time, with no upper limit. Pure numbers, pure emojis, or random letters that have nothing to do with the answer are all considered malicious spamming. Points will start to be deducted after three warnings. 2017 Q&A Summary Thread (updating now) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1657793-1-1.html 2017 Daily Question Summary Thread (updating now) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1657794-1-1.html 2016 Q&A Summary Thread (fully updated) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1597792-1-1.html
Leak testing and pressure testing are two distinct processes: leak testing is used to check the tightness of a container, while pressure testing is used to verify its strength. Leak testing involves conducting an airtightness test each time the equipment is opened; the test pressure should be 1.0 times the maximum operating pressure. Air, ammonia, or other inert gases can be used as the testing medium. The pressure should be increased gradually to 10% of the specified test pressure, and this pressure level should be maintained for 5 minutes, during which time all welds and connection points are inspected.

It’s different; it involves leak testing with water, using air as the medium, and leak testing with soapy water

Leak testing and pressure testing are two tasks with different requirements; leak testing is used to check the tightness of a container； Pressure testing is used to verify the strength of a container. Leak testing refers to the airtightness test that must be carried out each time the device is opened. The test pressure is 1 times the maximum operating pressure; air, ammonia, or other inert gases can be used as the testing medium. The pressure should be increased gradually to 10% of the specified test pressure, and this pressure level should be maintained for Smin. All welds and connection points are to be inspected initially. If no leaks are detected, the pressure is increased further to 50%; if nothing abnormal is observed, the pressure is raised in steps of 10% of the specified test pressure until the target pressure is reached, after which it is maintained for 30 minutes for inspection.

Leak testing refers to the airtightness test that must be carried out each time the device is opened. The test pressure is 1.0 times the maximum operating pressure; air, nitrogen, or other inert gases can be used as the testing medium. The pressure should be increased gradually to 10% of the specified test pressure, and then held at that level for 5–10 minutes. During this time, all welds and connection points are inspected initially. If no leaks are detected, the pressure is increased further to 50% of the specified value. If there are no abnormalities, the pressure is increased in steps of 10% of the specified test pressure until the target pressure is reached, after which it is held for 30 minutes for further inspection.
Pressure testing, which involves conducting hydrostatic tests, is a destructive test used to determine the strength of equipment and pipelines. Leak testing is a type of airtightness test; the device is filled with gas, and soap water is used to check for leaks in flanges, welds, etc
It’s a bit different. Pressure testing involves conducting inspections when the pressure reaches a certain level, while leak testing focuses on checking areas where leaks are likely to occur. For leak testing, prepare foaming liquids such as soapy water or dishwashing liquid first, and spray them on the flanges, welds, etc. to check for bubbles.
Pressure testing is used to determine whether equipment and systems have leaks, while leak detection focuses on identifying leaks in specific areas. For leak detection, soapy water is commonly applied to areas where leaks might occur to check for bubbles; for high-temperature areas, specialized leak detection instruments and flammability detectors are used
