Leak testing uses a variety of techniques to detect and locate leaks in
pressure containment parts, structures, evacuated components and systems.
Leaks can be detected by using electronic listening devices, pressure gage
measurements, liquid and gas penetrant techniques, spectrometry, thermography,
and simple soap bubble tests.
This book (also available in CD-Rom format) is a significant updating of
the second edition volume on the same subject and features new text on
infrared thermographic leak testing, storage tank testing, counterflow
design and nonfluorocarbon tracer gases.
It has 650 pages, 81 tables, 315 equations, 317 illustrations, 82 photographs,
a 12-page glossary, a 12-page bibliography and a 10-page index. The
book is intended to be a significant and useful addition to technical knowledge
for the weldiing, petrochemical, power generation, microprocessing, and
manufacturing industries and for any industry in which pressures or vacuums
must be carefully monitored. |
