8.Preparation of Apparatus
8.儀器的準(zhǔn)備
 
8.1 Assemble the apparatus in accordance with Fig1.
8.1按照圖1裝配設(shè)備。  
8.2 Prior to testing,draw a vacuum to at least 95-kPa(13.8-psi)differential and maintain this vacuum for 10 min inorder to remove air dissolved in the test fluid.
8.2在測試之前，將真空度抽至至少95-kPa(13.8-psi)的壓差，并保持該真空度10分鐘，以去除溶解在測試流體中的空氣。.
 
9.Procedure
9.1 Immerse the test specimens in the ethylene glycol-watersolution inside the transparent test chamber. Remove as manybubbles as possible from the outer surface of the test specimensby agitation or other means.
9.1.1 More than one specimen can be tested at one timeprovided that there is suffcient space in the test chamber toallow clear observation of each specimen. If this is done, afxthe test specimens so closures are suffciently separated topermit individual observation of each, to detect leakage.
9.2 Seal the lid, open the hand valve on the inlet tube, andclose the hand valve on the outlet tube to the atmosphere. Turnon the vacuum so that the gage rises slowly(from 30 s to 1min)to a p截(Alt + Afferential of 95 kPa (13.8 psi), or otherspecifed pressure differential. The vacuum can be controlledby cracking open the hand valve on the outlet tube. During therise in vacuum, observe the test specimen(s)for leakage asevidenced by a continuous stream or recurring succession ofsmall bubbles. Isolated bubbles caused by trapped air are notconsidered evidence of leakage. Maintain the vacuum for aminimum of 10 min.For test specimens which are singlepackagings or combination packagings in whole or part ofplastic material, maintain the vacuum for 30 min. Then turn thevacuum off and release it slowly by opening the hand valve onthe outlet tube. Keep the test specimen(s) immersed for at least30s at ambient pressure. Remove the test specimen(s)andexamine the inside for fuid.
9.3 Leakage is indicated by a continuous stream or recurringsuccession of bubbles. Fluid within the test specimen is alsoevidence of leakage.
 
9.程序
9.1將試樣浸入透明試驗(yàn)箱內(nèi)的乙二醇水溶液中。通過攪拌或其他方法盡可能多地從試樣的外表面去除氣泡。
9.1.1如果試驗(yàn)箱中有足夠的空間可以清楚地觀察每-個試樣，則可同時試驗(yàn)一個以上的試樣。如果這樣做了，貼上測試樣品，使密封件充分分開，允許每個密封件單獨(dú)觀察，以檢測泄漏。
9.2蓋上蓋子，打開進(jìn)氣管手閥，關(guān)閉出氣管手閥。打開真空，使壓力計(jì)緩慢上升(從30秒到1分鐘)到95千帕(13.8PSI)，或其他規(guī)定的壓差?？梢酝ㄟ^打開出口管上的手動閥來控制真空。在真空上升過程中，觀察試樣是否有泄漏，如連續(xù)流動或反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的連續(xù)小氣泡。被困空氣引起的少量氣泡不被認(rèn)為是泄漏的證據(jù)。保持真空至少10分鐘。對于全部或部分塑料制成的單容器或組合容器試樣，保持真空30分鐘。然后關(guān)閉真空并通過打開出口管上的手動閥緩慢釋放真空。將試樣在環(huán)境壓力下浸泡至少30秒。取出試樣，檢查內(nèi)部是否有液體。
9.3泄漏是指連續(xù)流或連續(xù)不斷的氣泡。試樣中的液體也是滲漏的證據(jù)。
