What is the purpose of leak testing piping, tubing, and hose assemblies?

The purpose of leak testing piping, tubing, and hose assemblies is to verify that they are free from leaks. This is crucial for ensuring safety and efficiency in the transportation and use of compressed natural gas (CNG) or other fluids. Leaks can lead to hazardous situations such as fire risks, environmental damage, and loss of product. Conducting leak tests confirms the integrity of the piping systems, allowing for the safe handling and delivery of natural gas. Ensuring that these assemblies are leak-free is a key requirement in compliance with safety regulations and industry standards.
