C.Leak Test for Double Wall Prezerver Tanks with Dry Annular Space
For ZCL Double Wall Prezerver tanks, the leak test is conducted in 2 stages, to test the primary (inside) and the condary (outside) tanks parately. The tests must be done in accordance with the following procedures in the quence indicated:
Air Leakage Test (Primary Tank)
This test places a 35 kPa (5 psi) pressure on the pri-mary tank while the annular space (between the inner and outer walls of the tank) is aled. This annular space is then monitored to obrve for a ri in pressure which may indicate a leak.
1.Position the tank on flat level area, free of rocks or debris and clean exterior (if necessary). When applicable, u suitable protective pads to roll tank during air/soap test.
2.Mount test equipment as indicated in diagram.Install pressure gauges at locations shown. Check gauges for initial ‘zero’reading.
3.All ZCL Prezerver tanks are manufactured with at least one monitor well fitting attached to the out-side of the tank which is open only to the annular space between the two tank walls. The monitor well fitting must be connected through a ho with a shut-off valve to another fitting (preferably on the manway cover if provided) leading directly into the
primary tank. Clo valve between primary tank and annular space.
4.Connect air supply to any other manway fitting or other convenient fitting leading directly to the pri-
mary tank. Pressurize the primary tank to 35 kPa (5 psi) maximum and hold.
Allow a few minutes for the air temperature in the tank to stabilize. If necessary, add or remove air to achieve required 35 kPa (5 psi) test pressure.5.Obrve the gauge on the monitor well for minimum 30 minutes. A ri in pressure from the zero value may indicate a leak in the primary tank. During this period apply a soapy water solution and soap all tank fittings, manways, flanged nozzles and covers,etc., to verify leak tightness before proceeding.
Pressure gauge readings can be affected by changes in ambient air temperature.Allow for pressure variations when tanks are subject to abrupt temperature changes.
Soap Bubble Test (Secondary Tank)
The Soap Bubble Test is ud as a highly nsitive test for detection of leaks and to verify that the
condary (outside) tank has not been damaged during transportation.
兰州百合怎么吃The Soap Bubble Test may be performed immediately following the Air Leakage Test.

primary tank until the pressure on both gauges reads 35kPa (5 psi).
7. Wet the entire exterior of tank with soapy water solution. During freezing conditions a suitable anti-freeze (such as windshield washer fluid) may be added to the soap and water mixture.
8. Inspect entire exterior surface of tank over 10- to 20-minute period for the formation of bubbles which would indicate a leak. Do not leave pres-surized tanks unattended.
9. After completion of test, relea air pressure. Dis-connect and remove manifold ho test kit and replace vent plugs in the primary tank and monitor well.
Should a leak be detected, do not attempt repairs.Contact your ZCL Reprentative for further instructions.为自己骄傲
D.Leak Test for Hydrostatically
Monitored Double Wall Prezerver Tanks with Annular Space Filled.
This tank has a hydrostatic monitoring system that includes a factory-installed, non toxic monitoring fluid in the annular space between the inner and outer walls.The monitoring fluid is a brine solution (30% calcium chloride). In the unlikely event of a tank leak, this fluid will leave a visible trace on the tank.
Rervoir Level Check
Remove the 100 mm (4 inch) plug from the rervoir fitting and inspect for prence of monitoring fluid. If the rervoir is empty, contact your ZCL Reprentative.
Primary Tank Test – Outer Wall Inspection
1. Position tanks on flat level surface free of rocks or debris. If necessary, u suitable protection pads to roll tanks.
2. Tighten any loo fitting plugs connected to the rervoir or to the annular space to avoid leakage
of monitoring fluid.
3. Inspect entire exterior surface of tank for any trace of monitoring fluid. If any leak is obrved as indi-cated by the prence of monitoring fluid, do not attempt repairs . Contact your ZCL Reprentative immediately.

4. Connect air supply to a manway fitting or other convenient fitting leading directly to the primary tank. Pressurize the primary tank to 35 kPa (5 psi)maximum and hold.
5. Apply soapy water solution and soap all tank fit-tings, manways, flanged nozzles and covers, etc.If leaks are obrved, as indicated by bubbles,tighten plugs or bolts and retest.
吹牛大王历险记Primary Tank Visual Inspection
Relea air pressure from primary tank. Remove a primary tank fitting plug from each end of tank. Conduct visual inspection of interior or primary tank and obrve
for any accumulation of monitoring fluid at the bottom of the tank.
Confirm that any liquid found is monitoring fluid (brine) or condensation (water).
If prence of monitoring fluid is detected, do not attempt repairs . Contact your ZCL Reprentative immediately. Replace and tighten plugs.
E.Compartment Tanks
1. The double wall bulkhead in the Prezerver Compartment Tank is constructed to be inter-connected with the annular space between the two tank walls.
2. The bulkhead in Greentank Single Wall Compartment Tanks is also double wall. It is not necessary to conduct a pressure test if the bulk-head is shipped under vacuum or is brine filled.If testing of the bulkhead of single wall compart-ment tanks is required, connect and transfer air pressure from the primary tank via the monitor well fitting.
Do not connect air supply from a compressor directly to the monitor well fitting.
