The test is used to test large floor area welded seems. The boxes that I have seen has a metal frame with a rubber seal on the bottom and a clear plex-a-glass top. Hook air to the valve system causing a vacuum after you have sprayed the test area with a leak detector liquid. Hope this helps. I do not know what you want to know about this test.

Thanks for the reply. I am not a welder by trade but one of our members inquired about this test and I was just trying to find him some info. I will get with him and post more details. Another member of this forum steered me towards the API 650 spec for more info but when I discussed this with the contractor he said it was not addressed in the revised spec book. Thanks again.

Is your end goal leak testing seam welds on a tank?
