Using a water pressure gauge
Introduction
In each assemblage performed using a double seal (1) and (2), the volume
(3) communicates with the outside by a channel (4), blocked--off by a plug (5)
or (6), so that leak--tightness can be checked.

3 Fill the water pressure gauge’s U tube
to half way up.
NOTE
: If temperature is less
than 0°C, use an anti--freeze mix-
ture instead of water.
D After a few minutes
note the water
column level R1.
D Note the water column level R2
again after half an hour
.
The displacement H should be
less
than 10 mm
