Hello All,
Hope everyone is in good health,
We have an underground steel tank, single layer, that started leaking,
I was curious if there is any method to determine the leak location and pin-point it.
Are there any sensors? any intuitive method to be used?
Thanks,

Type or joint is square butt weld joint.
Thickness to be welded is 6mm.
I did some calculation, and based on my inputs, it turns out that I will have a high HV hardness in the HAZ and apparently a 100% volume martensite.
This work piece shall work in...
Dear Members.
I'm designing a storage tank to store diesel. Dimensions to be ID 3600mm with a length of 15000mm.
Location to be above ground and has flanged flat dish.
Is there any other code than UL 142 to design it with. UL 142 seems too conservative.
