Why don't you write what you know and then let us correct any mistakes or fill in the blank spots.

At least that way, we will be able to help you with the task rather than do it for you. ;)

It seems that college lecturers are teaching less and less now and the students don't do a lot of text book reading either.

Or is it me ?

No its not you. I beleive its the overall education institute standards forcing a generation gap, against the better judgement of the good lecturers. And too much time spent on play stations and the like, and not enough time building bogies, repairing punctures on push bikes, digging the garden, and not meddling with bicarb, water and biscuit tins when their kids.

The first question to be asked is which type of pressure test do you require?
System strength test, or a pressurised leak test?

Secondly are you intending to test the whole system or just part of the system?
Which of course is related to the first pair of questions.
