In addition to water leaks caused by damaged parts and loose
screws, there are also water leaks at other waterproofed loca-
tions which cannot be detected with a water leak test : therefore,
the hydraulic pressure test must be used.

tions which cannot be detected with a water leak test : therefore,

**Hydraulic pressure test
In this test, Marine Pack is immersed in a water tank called a
hydraulic pressure vessel, pressure is applied using compressed
air and checks are made for water leaks and the ability to with-
stand water pressure is tested.
Extreme pressure is applied to Marine Pack underwater.
Water leaks may occur when this pressure is first applied. In
such cases, the water leak check must be made using the hy-
draulic pressure test with a hydraulic pressure vessel.

6. Repair Location and Hydraulic Pressure Test
When a defect is discovered or a repair is made at a location
related to the waterproofness of Marine Pack, the hydraulic pres-
sure test must be performed. Repairs at locations which require
the hydraulic pressure test, and the hydraulic pressure test itself,
are performed at the factory : therefore, always check the type
of defect using the check list before making repairs.
