Vacuum Box Testing

Detect and locate to locate seam leaks in the welds of storage tanks.

Vacuum Box Testing is a safe, reliable non-destructive method used to detect seam leaks in welds—especially on storage tanks, pressure vessels, and piping systems.

The test involves applying a detergent-based solution over the weld area, followed by creating a vacuum using a sealed box and pump. If a leak is present, air escaping through the defect creates visible bubbles, allowing for immediate detection.

Common Applications:

  • Lap welds
  • Shell-to-annular welds
  • Butt welds
  • Welded joints on tanks, vessels, and pipelines
