Test Q: Tightness includes a series of tests using different conditioning procedures suitable for different applications. Test methods 1 and 3 are only applicable to specimens that can withstand complete decompression and the compression required for impregnation without distortion or permanent physical damage.

Test method 2 is applicable to all specimens subjected to a significant thermally generated pressure difference achieved at the specimen's maximum operating ambient temperature.

Detection of large leaks is achieved by immersing the test sample in a suitable liquid under controlled conditions and observing bubbles emerging from the sample surface.
