The 600 psi pressure test.... sort of passed? It is hard to tell because the gauge reading goes up and down with temperature. Started at 600 and went to 592 over 12? hours. I have a graph.
At this point they need to be professional and get the guy that knows what he is doing to come on site. He is coming from Texas to CA. Longish story on that.
The "leak" is one or more of:
- instrumentation/vacuum hoses/fittings/etc.
- a "pool" of water somewhere in the line sets (haven't cracked the isolation valves)
- bad flare fitting
- bad braze joint
- could be the isolation valve(s) have a leak but this is described as unlikely
There are many classes and various videos regarding finding leaks and evacuation on YouTube. I find it interesting.
