    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_seep

    The world's largest natural oil seepage is Coal Oil Point in the Santa Barbara Channel, California. [33] Three of the better known tar seep locations in California are McKittrick Tar Pits, [34] Carpinteria Tar Pits and the La Brea Tar Pits. [35] At Kern River Oil Field, there are no currently active seeps. However, oil-stained formations in the ...

  3. Leak-down tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak-down_tester

    This schematic shows the component parts of a typical leak-down tester. The gauge on the right is held at a standard pressure by adjusting the pressure regulator while the gauge on the left shows an example reading of 85, or 15% leakage. A leak-down tester [2] is essentially a miniature flow meter similar in concept to an air flow bench. The ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigging

    Pigs are used in lube oil or paint blending to clean the pipes to avoid cross-contamination, and to empty the pipes into the product tanks (or sometimes to send a component back to its tank). Usually pigging is done at the beginning and at the end of each batch, but sometimes it is done in the midst of a batch, such as when producing a premix ...

  6. Hydrostatic test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_test

    A leak will give a similar result to permanent set, but will be detectable by holding the volume in the pressurised vessel by closing the inlet valve for a period before depressurising, as the pressure will drop steadily during this period if there is a leak. In most cases a permanent set that exceeds the specified maximum will indicate failure.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracer-gas_leak_testing

    A tracer-gas leak testing method is a nondestructive testing method that detects gas leaks.A variety of methods with different sensitivities exist. Tracer-gas leak testing is used in the petrochemical industry, the automotive industry, the construction industry [1] and in the manufacture of semiconductors, among other uses.
