Pressure testing your system for a leak is not measuring pressure. It's introducing pressure to your coolant system to simulate the conditions under which it may leak (higher temps, coolant boiling over, air pockets, etc that add pressure to a closed cooling system)

You really should look up how this type of testing is done, there's plenty of documented sources online.
