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.
If you are speaking of gas lines n the house you can make a soap solution out of dish washing detergent and put that in a squirt bottle and apply that to all the joints. It will bubble up if there is a leak.

When a person encounters a natural gas leak they should open the windows and isolate the concern if the leak is faint, but if the odor is strong then you must leave quickly get yourself away from the leak and call the utility company or 911. Calling the utility will also help with a faint gas leak.
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.
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.
that depends on what you're testing
Most plumbers use a soapy liquid to see if bubbles form.
Leak. What kind of liquid should be coming out? Antifreeze? Oil? And would it make the overflow for the raditor liquid bubble?
take a spray bottle and mix it with water and some soap and spray that were you think that you might have a leak and if the soap starts to bubble you have a leak there.

To find a vacuum leak. the vacuum hoses should be sprayed while the engine is running. A solution of dish soap and water sprayed on a leaky vacuum hose will cause it to blow soap bubbles. Spraying both the hose and the connectors should find the vacuum leak quickly.
To fix a water bubble in the wall, you will need to first identify and repair the source of the water leak causing the bubble. Once the leak is fixed, you can carefully puncture the bubble with a small hole, allowing the water to drain out. Use a putty knife to flatten the area and then apply a patching compound to cover the hole. Sand and paint the area to match the rest of the wall.
anything that sparks of flames you should do a soap test at all joints.which means you just spread hand soap around all of the pipe joints and look for bubbles after the ones have gone away from you putting the soap on. you will be able to tell which ones are a leak or not
There is air in the system, probably from a head gasket leak
Mine is in the timing chain cover gasket. You can find your leak by pressure testing your coolant system.
