ASTM E2024/E2024M – Standard Practice for Atmospheric Leaks Using a Thermal Conductivity Leak Detector

1.1 This practice covers procedures for detecting the sources of gas leaking at the rate of 1 × 10^-5 Pa m³/s (1 × 10^-4 standard cm³/s) or greater. The tests may be conducted on any object that can be pressurized with a tracer gas that is detectable by a thermal conductivity detector. The test sensitivity will vary widely depending on the tracer gas used.
