Issues with steam pressure testing

2009-12-31View Original

Thread Content

Using steam for pressure testing – won’t the decrease in pressure due to steam condensation lead to inaccurate testing results? You can’t keep the steam on all the time either; that way, you won’t be able to find out how it actually performs ?

Use steam for pressure testing; if there is a leak, you can see the steam escaping

2# broken_cl? No way. That’s for testing airtightness. Besides, with such a slight leak, you can’t even tell. Pressure testing involves determining how many minutes it takes before the pressure drops, right? ?

I’ve never heard of using steam for pressure testing; generally, water or air is used for such tests, while air or process gas is employed for airtightness testing.

Airtightness: The pressure must be stabilized for at least 30 minutes. ! Test it with air or nitrogen. !

We use nitrogen for pressure testing here, to determine the pressure retention time

Steam pressure test? I’m hearing about it for the first time.

As long as the voltage remains stable for a certain period of time without dropping, that’s sufficient

Pressure tests are divided into hydrostatic tests and pneumatic tests; I have never heard of pressure tests using steam as the medium.
