Fred,
This means a leaking temporary closure. For example a blanked nozzle flange, where the blank is not part of the vessel, but only installed for the hydrotest. If in this case the gasket is leaking during the test, it may be accepted. However, the water shall be lead away in order to be able to detect tightness of the flange and it*s welds.

Thanks for reply, Dr. Koelbl, so the temporary seals include bolt-flange sealing with extra blind flange(blank),but, in my opinion, the leaking may be caused by the damage to the sealing face of nozzle flange,then is it acceptable if there is indeed this cause?
