Have you ever been on a road trip and suddenly have a flat tire? Tire
air leaks can be quite an inconvenience, especially if it leads to a flat tire on the side of the road.
Leaks can vary depending on the size, if it's a slow leak you may
be able to drive on it for several miles before your tire completely deflates. It can even be a seal that is leaking and you may not even have a hole in your tire. So, how do you tell where your leak is?
There are some simple solutions to check for a slow leak on your own.
If you can’t hear or feel the leak, mixing soap and water in a spray bottle and spraying the surface of the tire will help you visually identify where your leak is located.
You might be asking, what about hospital equipment that is air pressurized?
How do you test for leakage? Specialty products like the Shaver Leak Tester are designed for pressure testing arthroscopic shavers to help identify leaks caused by failing seals that degrade over time from repeated use and processing. The Shaver Leak Tester
assists healthcare workers in reprocessing areas to make sure their shaver is working properly by using both a hand pump to apply pressure and a testing stop made from polypropylene to create a temporarily closed system within the fluid pathway of the shaver
to pressure test for leaks. Utilizing positive pressure allows the user to confirm if the internal seals are fully intact or if the shaver needs to be sent out for repair.
The Shaver Leak Tester helps in reducing the potential for cross-contamination,
damage and costly repairs that result from using a shaver with leaks.
