that depends on what you're testing
most plumbing codes require 10' of head for testing purposes. Maximum head pressure would depend on pressure rating of pipe & fittings used.

procedures in testing hydrostatic pressure in fluid(water)
A pressure rating refers to the qualified operating pressure which is recommended for a component or a system by the manufacturer. The maximum working pressure of a 12" steel having a schedule of 40 at 100 degrees Fahrenheit is 855 psig.
50 psig
10 psig
When leak testing a low pressure chiller, it is recommended to use a maximum pressure of around 10 psi. This is a safe pressure that can help detect any leaks without risking damage to the chiller components. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific pressure recommendations.
Mine is in the timing chain cover gasket. You can find your leak by pressure testing your coolant system.
The simplest method would be to mount a pressure gauge onto the chamber, then to observe whether the reading changes. It should remain at "zero" indicated gauge pressure. If your instrumentation is relative to atmospheric pressure, it would be a "minus" pressure and would vary with local atmospheric pressure. For very accurate readings, you would need something more sophisticated, such as an ionisation gauge.

To effectively detect an inground pool leak, you can use specialized techniques such as a pressure test, dye testing, or electronic leak detection. These methods can help accurately pinpoint the location of the leak in your pool.

Refrigerant is not used for pressure testing because it is a specialized fluid used for cooling and is not an ideal medium for detecting leaks in a system. Refrigerant can be harmful to the environment if it leaks out, so using a different type of fluid, such as nitrogen or a specific leak detection solution, is preferred for pressure testing purposes.
The point pressure leak test, also known as the Valsalva leak test
Yes, argon can be used for pneumatic testing. It is commonly used for leak testing and pressure testing because it is inert, non-reactive, and readily available. Argon is a good option for applications where a non-reactive gas is necessary to prevent corrosion or contamination.
