Standardization of leak testing methods in Russia today matters not only as formal necessity of
development and application of the most correct and unified ways of tightness control of products,
installations, systems, but also becomes especially important action in connection with a number of the
following circumstances:
- increase of requirements to reliability and safety of an objects,
- renewal of leak-testing instrument base,
- disutility of a test experience applying from one type of product to another one,
- diversity and relative complexity of leak-testing, leak-testing experience
Today the responsibility for a choice of manufacturing techniques of production, methods of its
control, lays on the manufacturer basically. Application of the international norms of quality, use of the
standard quality monitoring of production raises its competitiveness.
It is necessary, that supervision instances, developers of research and development institutes,
engineers and technologists of the enterprises could use the unified norms and the methods, worked out
by experts of all world.
However, in the country, where the English language not become so widespread that any engineer
freely could use the English document, there is a problem of translation and interpretation. The choice of
foreign standards as normative base, for example ASTM, would complicate process of standardization in
Russia, would disregard the wealth of national experience. Development of system of national standards
is necessary. In field of leak-test the Russian vacuum society already begins such work.
Conclusion.
It is possible to tell, that standardization of leak-testing in Russia occurs today at three levels:
- branch levels - experience of the tightness control is generalized in branch standards, obligatory
to inside application in the industry branch,
- state levels - national standards are in creating on basis of the branch experience,
- international levels - world experience is used for developing of national standards.
