The test piece is manually placed into the test device and either covered with a movable flap or slid into a test device. Depending on the set-up, up to six test pieces can be tested simultaneously and independently of each other. The test space is then sealed with a cover and evacuated. A sealed bag expands in the vacuum, raises the flap by a specified amount and remains for a specified retention period of around 5 seconds in this position or, as may apply, activates a switch. The bag is identified as leaking if the flap or the switch does not reach the pre-programmed position. If the flap lowers during the retention period, then there is a slight leak or, as may apply, it is only airtight for a short period and it is also reported as rejected.
