AHEAD OF THE REST

The system we use at Tank Check utilises digital technology to transform and analyse acoustical signals at the source. The system we use is the only one available that will automatically calculate pressure adjustments for interior levels of product as well as exterior water levels to ensure both accuracy of testing and protection of the tank.

​

• A small digital probe is lowered into the tank.

• The digital probe is connected to a computer which monitors acoustical signals inside the tank. Based on digital readings from the probe, the computer generates a digital map and acoustical profile of the tank’s integrity.

• If the test detects a “U-L” frequency leak, a leak may exist in the piping or empty portion of the tank. “U-L” leaks typically occur in the vent pipe or fill pipe and often can be repaired.

• If the test detects vapor bubbling, also known as a “P=L” frequency leak, the tank system has a leak in the oil or fuel filled portion of the tank. These leaks usually indicate a critical system failure. As a result, these tanks are often taken out of service and properly abandoned.
