A temporal variation in a fluid pressure of a fixed value applied to an article under inspection, or in the differential pressure between it and a fluid pressure applied to a comparison tank, is measured, and the measured value is compared with a reference value, thereby judging whether the airtightness of the article under inspection is good. Of the measured pressure or differential pressure data, data on the inspected articles judged non-defective are stored, by a predetermined number, in accordance with individual temperature differences between them and the comparison tank, or temperature differences between them a reference temperature, and a mean value of the stored data is calculated for each temperature difference. This mean value is used as a correction value for correcting, for each temperature difference, the measured pressure or differential pressure data on articles subsequently inspected.
