Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for testing closed hydraulic systems such as a blowout preventer for leaks maintain a constant pressure in the portion of the hydraulic system to be tested. A variable displacement pump is connected to the system for maintaining a constant pressure within the system. Any amount of fluid introduced into or removed from the blowout preventer in order to maintain constant pressure is measured and is an indication of the leak rate in the closed hydraulic system.
