What sort of pressure tester would i need to check for this?

Looking for a smarter way to manage your heating this winter? We’ve been testing the new Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 to see how quiet, accurate and easy it is to use around the home. Click here read our review.

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!!
