Märkätesteinä

Märkätesteinä, often translated as "wet testing" or "wet examination," refers to a process within certain industrial and technical fields where components or systems are tested while submerged in a liquid, typically water. This method is commonly employed to detect leaks or assess the integrity of sealed enclosures. The principle behind märkätesteinä is that any ingress or egress of liquid under controlled pressure conditions will be made visible.

During a typical märkätesteinä procedure, a part or assembly is placed in a tank filled with a testing fluid. Pressure is then applied to the interior of the item being tested, or the surrounding fluid is pressurized. If there are any imperfections, such as cracks or faulty seals, the testing fluid will escape from the interior or enter from the exterior, creating visible bubbles. These bubbles indicate the location and severity of any leaks.

Märkätesteinä is a crucial quality control step in the manufacturing of a wide range of products, including automotive components, electronic devices, pharmaceuticals, and pressure vessels. Its effectiveness in identifying even minute leaks makes it a reliable method for ensuring product safety and performance. The specific parameters of the test, such as the type of fluid, pressure levels, and duration, are carefully determined based on the requirements of the item being tested.
