Abstract

The invention relates to a capillary tube (1) determining the leakage rate for a test leak; in order to simplify its production and reduce the risk of breakage, it is proposed that the capillary tube (1) be a prior art quartz capillary tube encased in plastic. A holder joined to one end of the capillary tube by a removable connecting coupler has a nozzle for introducing a test sample into the tube.
