    Undergrad Required water pressure to find air leak

    As for the volume, I have about 20 gallons worth of piping. I could convert it to cubic feet but gallons works too.

    Undergrad Required water pressure to find air leak

    The system will only be around 50 psi of water which I know will not leak, but my foreman has this strict requirement to pass with no leakage at 150 psi of air in this mechanical room. I know that this is rediculous, but I am just doing as I am told. The dye will not work currently since it is...

    Undergrad Required water pressure to find air leak

    I have sprayed everything I can with a micro leak detection fluid already with no success, which leads me to believe that the problem is in the coil which I cannot spray down. I agree with He use but that is not practical where I am located or I would definitely do it. I would just like to put...

    Undergrad Required water pressure to find air leak

    It's a copper coil for warming air that is going through a Air Handler Unit. I'm currently testing it with air to verify there are no leaks. Water will be flowing through it in the future to heat the air that passes through the coil. There are zero flexible lines in this system, it is all...

    Undergrad Required water pressure to find air leak

    I have an air leak somewhere in a coil or 20 feet of pipe in a mechanical room next to a transformer. I have 160 psi of air on the system and it dropped 30 psi in two days. I have tried to find the lead with 60 psi of water currently but no success. I do not want to put a lot of water...
