The cavity is then pressurised and the engine component observed for seepage of water or the appearance of bubbles. The port closing elements are pressed onto the face by means of a transparent, laminated glass plate which is held in a steel frame by means of an elastomeric adhesive. Between the glass plate and a pressure bearing face of the steel frame there is a layer of elastomeric material. |
