Re: HELIUM LEAK TEST

We are doing a helium leak test at a PDH plant......... I do not know why the owner want to do this test... They claim that they want to make sure even Hydrogen gas will not leak from the plugs?????

Anyway do you know the standard leak test for Petrochemicals??? I have a value of 2.5 X 10-2 ml/s. Is it good enough???
