TESTING Perform a good visual inspection of the surface / weld to be vacuum box tested. And check the temperature of the surface. Metal surface temperature shall be between 4C to 52C. Apply the soap solution on the area to be inspected. Place the open bottom portion of the vacuum box against the tank surface so that the weld to be inspected is in the centre of the box. Check for the proper fit and seal. Apply a partial vacuum of 650mBar, for a minimum period of 5 seconds or the time required to view the area under test. Ensure minimum light intensity of 1000 Lux at the point of examination. Look for any air bubbles in the area of interest. The test shall have at least 50mm overlap of previously inspected surface on each application.

7.0

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The presence of a through-thickness leak indicated by continuous formation or growth of a bubble(s) or foam, produced by air passing through the thickness, is Not Acceptable The presence of a large opening leak, indicated by a quick bursting bubble or spitting response at the initial setting of the vacuum box is Not Acceptable Leaks shall be repaired and retested.
