How should a newly built 5,000-ton acid storage tank be inspected for leaks?
Filling the tank with water serves three purposes: to test for leaks, to allow for settlement, and to clean the inside of the tank as well. Just clean the water inside before using it.
5,000 tons per unit; 6 units amount to 30,000 tons of water, and it’s not easy for that water to dry up. Is that how you do it?
There’s no good solution; actually, 30,000 tons of water aren’t necessary either. After testing one, the water can be poured into another container. It’s definitely necessary to do your settlement during the safety period.
Okay, thank you:handshake
Testing is the best way; just try them one by one
All welds must undergo a leak test
On-site water pressure is necessary, and it’s definitely very troublesome. During leak detection, every weld must be inspected.
The welds are required to undergo non-destructive testing； Filling with water is used to test the basic settlement.
It is necessary to have water on hand, and besides, the water won’t be wasted as it will all be used in the recirculation system
