A mixture of dish soap and water is commonly used for soap bubble leak testing. The soap solution creates bubbles that can be applied to suspected leak areas, and any bubbles that form indicate a leak in the system. It is important to ensure the solution is well mixed to generate stable bubbles for accurate leak detection.
Helium is not typically used in refrigerators for cooling purposes. Refrigerators commonly use refrigerants like fluorocarbons, hydrocarbons, or ammonia to facilitate the cooling process. Helium is often used in cryogenic applications or for leak detection.

Helium is most commonly used for filling party balloons, as a coolant in cryogenics, and in various industrial processes like welding and leak detection. It is also used in the healthcare industry for MRIs and in rocket propulsion.

Helium is used in balloons, leak testing, welding in controlled atmospheres, magnetic resonance imaging, cooling agent for nuclear reactors, lasers, etc.
A balloon filled with helium will leak Helium particles this way and that, you silly monkey <3
that depends on what you're testing
Helium tanks are gas tanks containing compressed helium. They are frequently used to inflate helium balloons of various sizes, ranging from standard balloons to large "bouncy" structures such as bouncy castles.
Water, with surface tension and higher viscosity than air, will not show the smallest leaks air will show. For very sensitive testing, helium is also used.

Dye testing
It's used for various reasons in various situations. It can fill balloons and make them fly as it's lighter than air. It can be used for leak testing as it's a very small molecule, basically if Helium can't get through nothing else will. It's an inert gas which means that it usually won't interact chemically with its surroundings.
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.

Mine is in the timing chain cover gasket. You can find your leak by pressure testing your coolant system.
One common way to test for helium is to use a helium leak detector, which can detect very small amounts of helium gas. Helium can also be identified using a mass spectrometer, since it has a unique mass-to-charge ratio. Additionally, helium can be detected by its characteristic orange glow when placed in an electric field.
My new Chevy Equinox came from the dealer with helium filled tires. Since this cost money,what happens on a trip if they leak and I need to add air?
