Scope of Leak-Free Testing
Leak-free testing can be configured in the [Basic Information] menu of the Welded Sheet Metal Service.
Leak tests are performed on all continuous welds.
*For the “Leak-Free” setting method, refer to the operation manual “Setting Basic Information_Indicate whether leak-free confirmation is required“; for the applicable range, see below.
