The pool is filled with water, and then an evaporation basin is created; the water level due to leakage is measured, and by subtracting the amount of water that evaporates, the leakage level is determined, which is then used to calculate the amount of leakage
During testing, it is possible to follow the \"Specifications for Construction and Acceptance of Petrochemical Concrete Tank Projects\" SH/T 3535—2002 !
