What is a leak path? How is it designed?

When is a leak path designed to leak? What is the best system test method?

These are all questions answered in SANHA’s latest guidance document, “Leak Path and Testing protocol”, which we have designed to clarify the difficult area of pipe system testing. The new document also covers all the benefits of testing with both air and water, as well as the issues of testing high pressure systems.
