One socket down on ring - test identification

[HSwizza]

Hey all,
Training to be an electrician and trying to get my head around testing.

If a socket was to have no voltage but all other sockets on the ring work, what example reading would I get to show it is in fact a fault on the ring?

Would it be as simple as when I do my ‘little rs’ the tester would show no continuity?
I.e 99.9 (refer to this for last paragraph)

The thing that would confuse me is how the socket would not get a supply from either side of the ‘leg’? ( my understating is typically if one leg goes down the other leg still works and energises said socket)

I guess to summarise this question. What sort of result would indicate it is a fault on the ring even though all other sockets work?

Thanks for your time, I still get bantered on site so fully expect some here which is fine but if you could guide me that would be more than fantastic.
Just trying to apply myself.

It's also worth considering that whilst you might have a continuous end to end r1, r2, rN, if someone has reverse polarity wired a socket then you'll get a false reading - no volts L to E at the socket, but an appliance plugged in will most likely still work L - N (N - L). I had this very thing on an EICR a couple of weeks ago - blew the fuse in my tester when I found it!!

Hence, when you are installing, never twist your conductors together, even the cpc's.

Twisters and single sleevers, a special circle of hell awaits them all.

I cannot express how gratful I am for you all to take the time to give possible solutions and explanations. Didn’t expect such thorough answers.
A lot of information to absorb but I do understand all of your advice and guidance.
Thanks all.
