Why not ask on the Oftec forum ?? 
Surely you dont mind getting ripped apart by certain members!!
I personally use a home made test rig incorporating a gauge /tee /adaptor /a lever valve and a Fulham nozzle to connect onto either a foot pump or battery operated compressor!
Most bits can be accessed from BES!!
I usually test at 2bar for new pipework!!
If you are testing for a leak on existing pipe then use a manometer and air as you would for LPG!!
