8.4 Components
8.4.1 Inboard
8.4.1.1 Reference Method — ASTM E 498, Method A.
Component acceptance shall be based upon total
component integrity in accordance with ASTM E 498,
Article 6.8. Components that are too large to enclose in
a single helium envelope may be enclosed in segments
to determine total integrity.
8.4.1.2 Test each component for total inboard leakage
by introducing helium into a bag or other enclosure
around the component. Ensure that the enclosure is
sufficiently well-purged of air to minimize dilution of
the helium. In instances where the bagging technique is
not practical, the inboard leakage method of Section
8.6.1.2 may be substituted.
8.4.1.3 Test Time — Monitor the leak rate for 15
seconds.
8.4.2 Internal–Qualification Test
8.4.2.1 Reference Method — ASTM E 498, Method A.
Connect the outlet side of the closed component to the
leak detector. Apply tracer gas at the component’s
design pressure to the inlet side. Inlet and outlet sides
shall be as designated by the manufacturer.
8.4.2.2 Tracer Gas — 100% helium.
8.4.2.3 Test Time — Monitor the leak rate for 15
seconds.
8.4.3 Internal–Acceptance Test
8.4.3.1 Reference Method — ASTM E 498, Method A.
Connect the outlet side of the closed component to leak
detector. Apply tracer gas at atmospheric pressure to
the inlet side. Inlet and outlet sides shall be as
designated by the manufacturer.
8.4.3.2 Tracer Gas — 100% helium.
8.4.3.3 Tracer Gas Pressure — Atmospheric.
8.4.3.4 Test Tim — Monitor the leak rate for 15
seconds.
8.4.4 Outboard―Method 1
8.4.4.1 Reference Method — ASTM E 498, Method B,
modified as follows:
a. Cap the outlet of the component with a high
integrity fitting.
b. For valves and regulators, open the flow path
through the component. Install the component in a
vacuum chamber. A leak tight gas flow passage
must extend from the test component to the exterior
of the vacuum chamber.
c. Connect the leak detector to the vacuum chamber
and evacuate the chamber.
d. Pressurize the test component.
NOTE: Special fixtures may be required to test components
with tube stub ends to insure personnel safety and to prevent
component damage.
8.4.4.2 Test Time — Maintain the test condition for
one minute.
8.4.5 Outboard–Method 2 — Same as for Method 1,
except use 100% helium as the tracer gas.
8.4.6 Unassembled Components
8.4.6.1 Components that are assembled by the
purchaser, rather than the manufacturer, or that are
altered or repaired by the purchaser, shall be tested by
the purchaser in accordance with this specification.
8.4.6.2 Test of such components by the purchaser shall
not be performed under conditions that exceed the
manufacturer’s ratings.
8.5 Subsystems
8.5.1 Inboard
8.5.1.1 Reference Method — ASTM E 498, Method A.
Subsystem acceptance shall be based upon total
subsystem integrity in accordance with ASTM E 498,
Article 6.8.
8.5.1.2 Test for total inboard leakage by introducing
helium into a bag or other enclosure around the
subsystem. Ensure that the enclosure is sufficiently
well-purged of air to minimize dilution of the helium.
In instances where the bagging technique is not
practical, the inboard leakage method of Section 8.6.1.2
may be substituted.
8.5.1.3 Test time should be based on actual times to
record a standard capillary leak placed at the furthest
point in the subsystem from the leak detector.
8.5.1.4 Subsystems that are too large to enclose in a
single helium envelope may be tested in segments to
determine total integrity.
8.5.2 Internal―Method 1
8.5.2.1 Reference Method — ASTM E 498, Method A,
modified as follows:
a. Close the shutoff valve and pressurize the inlet with
tracer gas.
b. Connect the leak detector to the closest point
available to the valve outlet. Keep the evacuated
portion of the subsystem as small as practicable.

8.5.2.2 Test each subsystem for internal leakage of
each shutoff valve.
8.5.2.3 Test time should be based on actual times to
record a standard capillary leak placed at the furthest
point in the subsystem from the leak detector.
8.5.3 Internal―Method 2 — As in Method 1, except
use 100% helium as the tracer gas.
8.5.4 Outboard――Method 1
8.5.4.1 Reference Method — ASTM E 493, Method B,
modified such that the subsystem shall be prefilled and
maintained at constant pressure during the test.
NOTE: The pressure may be different for different portions of
the subsystem.
8.5.4.2 Test Time — Monitor the leak rate for 15
seconds.
8.5.5 Outboard――Method 2
8.5.5.1 Reference Method — ASTM E 499, Method A,
direct probing. Examine each joint with a detector
probe.
8.6 Systems
8.6.1 Inboard
8.6.1.1 Reference Method — ASTM E 498, Method A.
8.6.1.2 Test each system for total inboard leakage by
spraying a small stream of tracer gas around each point
of possible leakage.
8.6.1.3 Test time should be based on actual times to
record a standard capillary leak placed at the furthest
point in the system from the leak detector.
8.6.2 Internal
8.6.2.1 Reference Method — ASTM E 498, Method A,
modified as follows:
a. Close the shutoff valve and pressurize the inlet with
tracer gas.
b. Connect the leak detector to the closest point
available to the valve outlet. Keep the evacuated
portion of the subsystem as small as practicable.
8.6.2.2 Test each subsystem for internal leakage of
each shutoff valve.
8.6.2.3 Test time should be based on actual time to
record a standard capillary leak placed at the furthest
point in the subsystem from the leak detector.
8.6.3 Internal―Method 2 — Same as in Method 1,
except use 100% helium as the tracer gas.
8.6.4 Outboard
8.6.4.1 Reference Method — ASTM E 499, Method A,
Direct Probing. Each joint shall be examined with a
detector probe.
