  • Patent number: 5412978
    Abstract: A leakage test apparatus and method whereby a test part may be tested for leaks using either a dynamic flow method or a pressure decay method. The apparatus includes an air supply and first, second and third conduits arranged in parallel with each other and extending from a first manifold pipe connected to the air supply to a second manifold pipe connected to the test part. The first conduit is adapted to fill the part with air from the air supply at a high flow rate, the second conduit includes a flow restriction orifice and is adapted to fill the part at an intermediate flow rate less than the high flow rate of the first conduit and the third conduit includes a flow meter adapted to measure flow from the first manifold pipe to the second manifold pipe during flow through the first conduit in a fill mode of operation and is further adapted to measure flow from the first to the second manifold pipe during flow through the second conduit in a stabilize mode of operation.
