Test Methods
Tracer-Tight Leak Detection
Tracer Gas is injected into the tank and samples are drawn at a later, predetermined date, from small probes installed into the ground.
- Site can remain in operation throughout entire test
- No fill or under-fill requirements on underground tanks - Above-ground tanks need only 1 meter liquid height
- General leak location can be determined
- Probes are permanent and can be used for retesting
Pressure Decline
Introduce slight pressure into an isolated tank or piping system, 1-5PSI depending on tank and agreed upon test pressure. Pressure is measured and recorded over 30 minutes, if pressure drops it can indicate a leak
- Easy to perform on most tanks
- Same day results
- Tests all associated piping up to point of isolation
Mass Buoyancy
This test is designed to measure any changes in the buoyancy force acting on a probe inserted into the tank liquid. Buoyancy force only varies as a direct result of a change in the mass of liquid - Can be used in conjunction with the ullage test.
- Same day results
- Simple setup
Ullage Test
Tank is isolated and a microphone is placed inside. The background noise is measured, then 2-3PSI of nitrogen is introduced into the tank and leakage can be determined by measuring a change in the background noise.
Helium Leak Detection
Inject helium into the tank or associated piping and trace out the line with a helium detector. Can pinpoint very small leaks underground due the atomic size of the particles that make up helium.
