  2. Hydrostatic test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_test

    A hydrostatic test is a way in which pressure vessels such as pipelines, plumbing, gas cylinders, boilers and fuel tanks can be tested for strength and leaks. The test involves filling the vessel or pipe system with a liquid, usually water, which may be dyed to aid in visual leak detection, and pressurization of the vessel to the specified test ...

  3. Maddox rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddox_rod

    The strength of the prism is increased until the streak of the light passes through the centre of the prism, as the strength of the prism indicates the amount of deviation present. The Maddox rod is a handheld instrument composed of red parallel plano convex cylinder lens , which refracts light rays so that a point source of light is seen as a ...

  4. Helium mass spectrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium_mass_spectrometer

    A helium mass spectrometer is an instrument commonly used to detect and locate small leaks. It was initially developed in the Manhattan Project during World War II to find extremely small leaks in the gas diffusion process of uranium enrichment plants. [1] It typically uses a vacuum chamber in which a sealed container filled with helium is placed.

  5. Prism cover test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_Cover_Test

    The prism cover test ( PCT) is an objective measurement and the gold standard in measuring strabismus, i.e. ocular misalignment, or a deviation of the eye. [1] It is used by ophthalmologists and orthoptists in order to measure the vertical and horizontal deviation and includes both manifest and latent components. [1]

  6. Leak detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak_detection

    A leak appearing within an analytic region (a rule added to the camera) is immediately analyzed for its attributes, including thermal temperature, size, and behaviour (e.g. spraying, pooling, spilling). When a leak is determined to be valid based on set parameters, an alarm notification with leak video is generated and sent to a monitoring station.

  7. Tank leak detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_leak_detection

    4a System based on fuel reconciliation (measurement of amount sold through the dispenser against the amount that goes out of the tank according to the tank gauge).Any discrepancies release an alarm. 4b Detection of tank leak in quiet periods (liquid level is changing while the tank is not dispensing fuel). Class 5. In this system monitoring ...

    The odor in Charlotte on Thursday was not the result of a natural gas leak but rather the destruction of tanks that contained a substance used to give gas an odor at a site near uptown, Piedmont ...

  9. Tracer-gas leak testing - Wikipedia

    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.
