What pressure is necessary for a tube to test gassy?

I was just thinking that if high enough, one could test the
tube without using the heater just by applying a high
voltage to two elements, suitably current limited, or
using a 2 or 6 meter ham transmitter a few tens of watts
coupled in through a tuned circuit stepping it you to high voltage.

Do people try this?
