Leakshield initial test on a new build - what leak rate is acceptable?

Saturday, August 10th 2024, 9:40am

Good morning,
I just built my first custom loop.
I'm testing for leaks on a dry loop (Leakshield hooked up to a laptop).
I get about 1 mbar/minute leak rate on average, which is pretty consistent during the test. The 1 hour 300 mbar test has seen about 20% loss of negative pressure, give or take - I wasn't aware of the time limit if there's one. I was fiddling with the Display settings when it went back to monitoring mode in the background. I test it again to be sure.
How much air leak is considered water tight?
The software doesn't give me any verdict, it just goes back to monitoring mode without saying a word...
Thanks!
