0.5mb drop on tightness test - Should I be worried?

[ShaunCorbs]

Complete carp! Any legal establishment on this island would merit any safety based repair, regardless of whether it’s within spec.

Nope and your other post your test is only valid for that day / the time your there say you have a massive gas leak a month after your not responsible/ no liability

A gas leak .. is a gas leak, and may progressively get worse.

So do / could do boilers so you id most boilers you come across them

Wasn’t the op’s initial post about panicking about being told she had a leak, I would put a hefty wager that any homeowner would react the same... to be told they had a gas leak. Now don’t get me wrong, I certainly don’t go making a meal to the custard about having a gas leak,in the view to creating extra work( as long as it’s within tolerance)
My reply to you previously, was about ‘being done’ by the gas police.

So if in that situation, you had a 3mbar drop on a g4 metre, your conscience gets the better of you and you decide to investigate. You isolate the appliances and prove the pipework is sound. You then test each appliance individually and find the gas valve on the fire is passing. What then? Do you leave it or have to condem it?

Things like that are what the tolerances are for so as long as it was within it would be ok.. however, I would inform the customer of the situation and explain to them about the permissible drop and that it is safe to leave.. or I could repair/renew it if thats what they wanted.
This way I have covered all bases.

they would say its within safe limits why did you go looking for the leak when you didnt need too

Maybe, but I certainly don’t think you’d ‘get done’ For being over safe.

Me personally would starting raising my brow to a 3mbar drop

With reference to the OP and as per @ShaunCorbs post. You probably wouldn’t see 0.5 on a water gauge. Bet he tested with a digital. 0.5 is perfectly acceptable.

Isn’t 0.25 considered perceptible on a water gauge ? which can’t be seen so any visual movement is considered perceptible ?
And 0.1 on a digi?
