4.9 The smoke produced can be used in many ways to indicate the presence of leaks in either pressure or vacuum systems. When smoke is

Observing the behaviour of the smoke will pinpoint the problem.
4.10 Alternatively, smoke can be introduced into ducting by unfastening one end of the duct and plugging with a suitable rubber cone from

Any leak will be displayed by a jet of smoke coming from it.
4.11 The amount of smoke needed will vary with the capacity of the system being investigated.
4.12 If the smoke starts to dwindle, the heater element will need to be switched on for a further time.
