3 of 7 1.0 PURPOSE This ' procedure states the requirements for performing a Low Pressure Soap Bubble Leak Test for NUS Type A shipping casks.
The fabrication contractor shall submit for approval detailed leak test procedures.
The purpose of this test will be to check the integrity of welds, threaded fittings, flanges and any other joints where pressure tests below 8 psi are adequate to meet contractural/ functional requirements.
2.0 APPLICABILITY This test shall be performed before painting on all NUS Process Services Type A, shipping casks prior to acceptance from a fabricator.
Additionally, the test shall be performed yearly as a verification of gasket and gasket seating surfaces integrity.
This soap bubble leak test is sensitive for leak testing where a sensitivity of no greater than 10-3 3
atm.cm /sec is required.
3.0 DEFINITIONS None.

5 of 7 7.2 The item shall'be leak tested with all lids, gaskets, plugs, valves, and fasteners in place and in the normal closed position.
The only exception shall be - the port or valve utilized to pressure the cavity.
O 7.3 Pressurize the cavity to 8 psi + 1, -0 psi.
7.4 Close off or maintain pressure at pressurization location to hold specified pressure in cavity.
7.5 Apply the leak detecting solution to all gasketed areas, threads, seal welds, ports or valves by brush or spray.
Inspect for bubbles.
7.6 Conduct leak test for 5 minutes.
8.0 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA 8.1 No bubbles shall be visable to the unaided eye during the 5 minute test.
8.2 If bubbles appear during the test, weld integrity, gas-ket condition,. flange or lid tightness, valve position, plug security, etc., shall be checked and the test rerun..
8.3 The results of the-leak test shall be recorded Ron the Test Performance form (Figure 1).
