OH im not disagreeing with you at all!
IM doing the test exactly as the manual states, but i do see the value of a longer low pressure test also.
In my line of work we use helium(@3psi) and a sniffer to find leaks sometimes. Fuel tanks in aircraft.
I Like your go/no go analogy. I use go/no go pin gauges daily! YOU Can't see it but there is a difference between Class 1,2,3 fit!
If some one altered our test procedure outlined by our Engineers and FAA they would be looking for a job!
