BS EN 13625 is a standard that covers equipment for measurement of gas leakage, enabling the classification and usability of the gas leakage equipment and ensuring accuracy, performance and longevity in testing applications.
BS EN 13625 specifies criteria for the selection of equipment for the leak detection methods described in EN 1779.
In BS EN 13625, the minimum requirements for the performance of the instruments used are also given as a guideline for personnel involved in testing. The definite selection of an instrument for a given test is within the responsibility of a qualified operator.
BS EN 13625 on equipment for measurement of gas leakage applies to:
Leak testing is a type of non-destructive testing (NDT) that is used to discover and locate leaks in pressurised or evacuated systems and components, as well as to monitor fluid or gas leakage.
BS EN 13625 provides users guidance on four gas methods for determining gas leakage. BS EN 13625 also provides users with a step-by-step procedure for the technique, enabling users to do the method correctly.
BS EN 13625 provides users guidance on the tracer gas method, bubble test method, and total pressure change method, enabling users to do implement leak tests accurately to ensure safety and protection in industrial applications.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 13625, users can select and assess the instrumentation for the measurement of gas leakage, enabling risk reduction and prevention of hazards in industrial applications.
