What is Functional Leak Testing?

Functional leak testing involves challenging the performance of an assembly against a set of predefined performance criteria. For example, a medical valve may have a torque to turn specification as well as a leak and flow test specification. Functional testers can be used to test valves, turbo chargers, electric motors, thermostats, electronic and mechanical control devices, medical devices, faucets, showers and many other components.
