Water filling experiment for internal floating roof storage tanks
Thread Content
Regarding the water filling test in standard GB50128, and specifically the airtightness test for fixed roofs, it is necessary to check whether there are any leaks in the welds on the roof of the tank. What are the specific measures to take? ? Apply soapy water to the tank roof weld? ? Small jars are okay, but with large jars, the workload would be too much. .
For the water filling test of storage tanks, leaks will be quite obvious if they occur; this is true unless it is raining. The airtightness test focuses mainly on checking for leaks at the static sealing points as well as any deformation in the tank’s structure. The quality of welds is controlled through regular inspections using appropriate testing methods
It sounds complicated, but it’s actually quite simple – just use a few water guns to spray along the welds on the top of the tank
