CA 2125420

A method and apparatus for testing the effectiveness of an air barrier, or part thereof, whereby an identification of air leakages is provided. A soap solution (or other solution having a similar bubbling characteristic) is applied to a selected air barrier test area. An open-ended vacuum chamber is positioned over the test area and sealed, for sufficient air tightness, to the bounds of the test area. An effective vacuum is then produced in the vacuum chamber by pumping air from the chamber. This vacuum produced creates an air pressure differential across the air barrier. In the presence of the air pressure differential the soap solution will bubble if there is an air leakage in the air barrier within the test area and, therefore, the existence or non-existence of bubbles in this area identifies whether or not there is an air leakage in the air barrier in that area.
