Vacuum Box Testing

Vacuum Box Testing is a non-destructive method used to detect leaks and discontinuities in weld seams or surfaces by applying a vacuum over a test area and observing for bubbles in a soap solution, indicating potential defects.

Overview

We provide Vacuum Box Testing to verify the integrity of weld seams and surfaces by detecting through-leaks and discontinuities in non-pressurized systems. This non-destructive technique involves creating a sealed vacuum chamber over the test area and applying a soap solution. The presence of bubbles indicates leaks or flaws in the weld or base material.

Vacuum Box Testing is ideal for inspecting tank floors, pressure vessel shells, pipelines, and storage tanks — especially where internal access is limited. Our qualified technicians ensure thorough testing in compliance with industry standards such as API 650 and ASME.
