Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for detecting and measuring seat leakage in valves during air or gas seat tests. The method involves sealing the valve openings and filling the cavity on one side of the closed valve with water. Pressurized air or gas is introduced to the opposite side of the valve, causing any leaks in the valve closure to generate bubbles that displace water through a conduit, forming drops that are collected in a container. The leakage is quantified by counting the drops or measuring the water volume in a graduated container.
