Seat leakage is defined as leakage that is internal to a valve-between the inlet and outlet sides of the valve-when the valve is in its closed position. It is not limited to leakage across the valve seat, but also encompasses all leakage across the valve trim when the valve is in the closed position. Leakage across internal trim seals, such as piston rings, and across trim-to-body seals, such as gaskets, can be counted as seat leakage.
It is important to note that, while leakage through valve stem packing is of growing concern in the industry, governing industry standards address this type of leakage separately and do not consider it to be a form of seat leakage.

What is pop up test in safety valve?
it is the pressure test used to determine the operating pressure of the pressure relief valves (CDTP).
What is the acceptance value of leakage current in HI POT test?
A HIPOT test, or a dielectric test, is designed to ensure there is no breakdown when a device under test has a high voltage applied to it, which means that it is a simple pass or fail test with no requirement for data. Requirements in safety standards may require the testing of leakage current, however, so the best example of calculating the accepted leakage current is: If you apply 1000 volts to the device under test and adjust the tester until there is a breakdown, if the products resistance is below 120,000 ohms the maximum leakage current allowed is 8.333 mA (This is calculated using the formula 1000/120,000 which is aqual to 8.333mA).
Why back seat test is not applicable for ball valves?
Because ball valves stem can't rise. It turns 90° but it doesn't rise. Back seat test ( appicable for gate and globe valves only) can be carried out by means of the full opening of the valve. Once the valve is in full open position the stem should be in contact with the bonnet ( generally hardfaced on that area) , in a manner that a sealing between bonnet and stem allows the packing to be replaced with the pressure inside the valve. Of course this is possible only because the stem rises. In the ball valves ( standard) the stem only rotate 90° , then the back seat test can't be done.
How do you test leakage on equipment?
by measuring the insulation resistance then by usig the formula for finding leakage current leakage current =voltage applied /resistance measured by megger.
What are the standards for safety valves-?
safety valve in accordance with the requirements of Article VIII of the ASME code for pressure vessel applications, which is within 10% overpressure that opens and closes in 7%.
Can you find out if your pistons hit your valves when the timing belt snaps or do you have to put new timing belt on first?
You can do a cylinder leakage test to check for bent valves.You can do a cylinder leakage test to check for bent valves.
Why pressure drop occur even there was no leakage in hydrostatic test?
Isolating valves may have passing.
What are the standards for safety valves(IS Codes)?
Safety valves, other valves, liquid level gauges and other fittings for boilers and unfired pressure vessels and Safety and Relief Valves - performance test codes
Does broken timing belt need too be replace to determine if piston an valves are damaged?
Either that or remove the rocker arms and do a cylinder leakage test.
What is a low pressure closure?
Low Pressure Closure Test The low-pressure closure test shall be performed with the seat sealing surface interface clean and free from oil, grease, and sealant. Any leakage at the seat sealing surface interface, behind the seat ring, or through the disk on the open side of the valve shall be detected when bubbles are observed coming from the closure (disk, seat, and seat ring), which is either covered with water or coated with a soap or similar solution. When closure testing gate, and ball valves, the valve manufacturer shall use a method of testing seat leakage that fills and fully pressurizes the body cavity to the test pressure between the seats and the bonnet area, as applicable, with the test fluid. This will ensure that no seat leakage can escape detection because of gradual filling of these volumes during the test period. Gate Valve & Screw Down Non-return Globe Valve: The pressure shall be applied successively to each side of the closed valve with the other side open to the atmosphere to check for leakage at the atmospheric side of the closure. Globe Valve: The pressure shall be applied in one direction with the pressure applied under the disc (upstream side) of the closed valve with the other side open to the atmosphere to check for leakage at the atmospheric side of the closure. Check valve: The pressure shall be applied in one direction with the pressure applied behind the disc (down stream side) of the closed valve with the other side open to the atmosphere to check for leakage at the atmospheric side of the closure. Check for leakage using either a soap film solution or an inverted 'U' tube with its outlet submerged under water. If the seat pressure is held successfully then the other seat shall be tested in the same manner where applicable. If unacceptable leakage is found, corrective action may be taken to eliminate the leakage and the seat test repeated. If the valve is disassembled to eliminate the leakage, all previous testing must be repeated upon re-assembly.

What is pressure test for transformmer and how to test?
On installed transformer a test is performed to check weather it has any oil leakage or not, the test is called pressure test, more precisely pressure leakage test.

Would doing a pressure check expose a leak on an i30 infiniti?
IT would, there are several pressure tests: 1. Compression test of cylinders to check rings and valves seats 2. Cylinder leakage or leakdown test to check rings and valves. It is more accurate than above. 3. Cooling system pressure test to check all aspects of cooling system.
How do you test leakage on equipment?
by measuring the insulation resistance then by usig the formula for finding leakage current leakage current =voltage applied /resistance measured by megger.
Why should you pull a vacuum?
To test for leakage in the system.
