What is the principle behind checking for leaks in double-wall tanks and double-wall pipes?

Double-layer storage tanks can be inspected for leaks using helium; helium is filled into the inner container and the outer shell, while the space between them is evacuated. A helium leak detector is connected to the system, and if there is a leak, the device will give an alarm indicating the leak rate.

After the storage tank is put into use, helium is no longer introduced into it
