Are reciprocating compressors still tested for leaks using kerosene?

Here, kerosene is used for leak testing; sometimes water is also used. After testing for leaks, it is left to air-dry naturally before being installed

If it is a compression unit for air separation equipment, kerosene cannot be used for leak testing, as oil is prohibited in the air separation system.
