For leak testing closed containers (9) which are filled with a filling product containing at least one liquid component the container is introduced in a test cavity (1) which is evacuated at least down to vapour pressure of that liquid component. The pressure in the surrounding of the container (9) and thus within test cavity (1) is monitored. Monitoring is performed by a vacuum pressure sensor (7), whereas lowering pressure surrounding the container (9) is performed by a vacuum pump (5). Leakag...

An ECU drives a pump in a first stage at a first pumping capacity. The ECU drives the pump in a second stage after the first stage at a second pumping capacity, which is lower than the first pumping capacity. The second pumping capacity is set such that when at least one leak hole, which forms a predetermined total opening cross sectional area, exists in the purge apparatus, the driving of the pump at the second pumping capacity substantially maintains a predetermined reference pressure in the p...

A leak detection system determines whether a container has a leak or an aperture by attempting to draw a vacuum in the container and determining whether a vacuum has been created in the container. If a vacuum can be created in a container, this indicates that the container has a leak. Conversely if a vacuum cannot be created in the container, this indicates that the container does not have a leak. The leak detection system preferably includes a conveyor system for moving a container and a sensor...

A leak detecting system includes a leak detector that detects leakage of liquid stored in a tank based on fluctuation in a level of the liquid. The leak detector includes a liquid inlet/outlet portion through which the liquid in the tank flows in and out, a flow-rate measuring unit configured to measure an amount of flow of the liquid inside the leak detector, and a liquid retaining portion configured to retain liquid flowing therein through the liquid inlet/outlet portion. A lower end of the le...

An apparatus for detecting a leak of a fluid from a vessel having an inner wall and an outer wall includes: at least one odorant layer adjacent the inner wall or the outer wall; and at least one semi-permeable material layer adjacent the odorant layer.
