2. Coolant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolant

   A coolant is a substance, typically liquid, that is used to reduce or regulate the temperature of a system. An ideal coolant has high thermal capacity, low viscosity, is low-cost, non-toxic, chemically inert and neither causes nor promotes corrosion of the cooling system. Some applications also require the coolant to be an electrical insulator.

3. Leak-down tester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak-down_tester

   The input pressure is set for 80 psi (550 kPa), and 60 psi (410 kPa) minimum cylinder pressure is the accepted standard. While the leak-down tester pressurizes the cylinder, the mechanic can listen to various parts to determine where any leak may originate.

4. Radiator (engine cooling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(engine_cooling)

   A calibrated pressure-relief valve is usually incorporated in the radiator's fill cap. This pressure varies between models, but typically ranges from 4 to 30 psi (30 to 200 kPa). [4] As the coolant system pressure increases with a rise in temperature, it will reach the point where the pressure relief valve allows excess pressure to escape.

5. Hydrostatic test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_test

   The test involves filling the vessel or pipe system with a liquid, usually water, which may be dyed to aid in visual leak detection, and pressurization of the vessel to the specified test pressure. Pressure tightness can be tested by shutting off the supply valve and observing whether there is a pressure loss.

6. Duct leakage testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_leakage_testing

   Duct leakage test in the US. A duct leakage tester is a diagnostic tool designed to measure the airtightness of forced air heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) ductwork. A duct leakage tester consists of a calibrated fan for measuring an air flow rate and a pressure sensing device to measure the pressure created by the fan flow.

7. Head gasket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_gasket

   Common test methods for head gasket leaks are a compression test (using a pressure gauge), a leak-down test or a chemical test that identifies hydrocarbons in the coolant fluid. [ 5 ] The cost of the replacement component (i.e. the head gasket itself) is usually relatively low, however there are significant labor costs involved in the ...
