Chalk/powder test

This test checks the contact surfaces of seals on doors, hatches and lids.

Process using a door seal as an example: To do this, the door seal is coated with powder or brushed with chalk. A thin layer of grease is applied to the contact area of the seal. The door must then be slowly closed and reopened. The width and continuity of the imprint can now be checked on the seal.
