DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following embodiments of the application are illustrated by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like elements, and in which:

[0025] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. shown in the drawings of the present disclosure are merely used to illustrate the content disclosed in the present disclosure for the understanding and reading of those skilled in the art, and are not used to limit the conditions that can be implemented by the present application, and therefore do not have technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change of the proportional relationship, or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that can be achieved by the present application, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed by the present application. At the same time, the terms such as "front", "back", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" used in the present disclosure are merely for the clarity of the description, and are not used to limit the scope of the present application, and the change or adjustment of the relative relationship without substantially changing the technical content is also considered as the scope of the present application.

[0026] It should be noted that the membrane test is to monitor the upstream and downstream pressures of the membrane to determine the bubble point and diffusion flow. During the test, when the downstream pressure of the membrane suddenly changes, it means that the gas has passed through the smallest hole in the membrane at this pressure. At this time, a series of bubbles will be generated downstream of the membrane, and the pressure at this time is the minimum pressure required for the liquid to be discharged from these holes (bubble point pressure value). The existing technology uses visual method, and different test personnel have different observation methods for bubbles, which leads to different test results of the same sample by different test personnel, resulting in errors, and the test results cannot be reproduced, and the accuracy of the test results cannot be determined.
