47、n and leakage rate EXAMPLE 1a Conversion of a concentration increase in a hood to a total leakage volume flow rate (pV-throughput) A test object pressurized with halogen gas should be tested for overall leakage. It is therefore placed in an envelope of given volume where the escaping halogen gas can accumulate for a definite period of time. After that time, the resulting concentration increase in the envelope measured with a leak detector probe (by puncturing the envelope with the probe tip). The following assumptions are made: the envelope has a free volume (between test object and outer vol
