Sniffing leak detection system
Explanation:

“Sniffing” is the simplest realization of an “inside-out” test. The sniffing technique of leak detection utilizes a detector probe or sniffer to sense leaks from a unit previously filled and pressurized with a tracer gas.

Weiterer Hinweis auf synonyme Verwendung:

Hello all, I have a quick question regarding an alternative to "cracking" or "snifting" a cylinder to clear out any dust/dirt.
A blast of compressed air or nitrogen is now preferred to snifting, a vac would probably do it, if you have a small enough nozzle,
sniffing hydrogen cylinders is best done with care though.
