There are several methods commonly employed in pressure testing within toxicology:
Hydrostatic Testing: This involves filling the container with water and applying pressure. It's a safe method because water is incompressible, reducing the risk of violent failure. Pneumatic Testing: This method uses gas, usually air or nitrogen, to apply pressure. It's quicker than hydrostatic testing but poses a greater risk due to the compressibility of gases. Leak Testing: Specialized for identifying leaks, this method involves applying pressure and checking for pressure drops, often using detection instruments or soapy water.
