Step #2 • Close the air supply valve to the primary tank. • Disconnect the air supply. Step #3 • Open the manifold valve in order to pressurize the tank annular space. • Pressure may drop slightly. Manifold Air supply valve valve closed to air supply openAir Air gauge gauge Manifold system (supplied with tank) Step #4 • Monitor the pressure readings for at least 30 minutes. • At the same time, cover tank outer surface with soap solution (see page 3, Visual Air/Soap Test). • Carefully inspect for leaks as indicated by bubbles. Inner Wall Test Step #5 • Close manifold valve to annular space. • Open air supply valve to vent primary tank. • Maintain 5 psi pressure on the annular space. Step #6 • Monitor air gauge on tank for another 30 minutes, but not more than 60 minutes. After successfully completing air test: • Release pressure. • Disconnect and remove air manifold fittings, hose and valve. Testing Double -Wall Tanks (Hydrostatically Monitored) with Annular Space Filled This tank has a hydrostatic monitoring system that includes a non-toxic colored monitoring fluid between the tank walls. This fluid is a brine solution (30% calcium chloride). In the unlikely event of a tank leak, this monitoring fluid will leave a colored trace on the tank. Reservoir Level Check: DO • Remove the 4" plug from the reservoir fitting. • Inspect for monitoring tracer fluid. • If reservoir is empty, immediately call Owens-Corning Field Service (see phone numbers on page 2). DO NOT • Attach air pressure line directly to any annular space fitting. Outer Wall Test Step #1 • Closely inspect outer wall for any trace of colored monitoring tracer fluid. Important: If a colored fluid is found during any test, discontinue the installation and immediately contact Owens-Corning Field Service (phone numbers are on page 2). Step #2 DO • Tighten all fitting plugs to the annular space and reservoir to avoid spilling monitoring fluid. • Inspect tank bottom by lifting tank. • After completing inspection of tank bottom, replace tank on bumper pads. DO NOT • Rotate tank. • Stand under tank while tank is in the air. Injury or death could occur. Step #3 DO • Connect air compressor to primary tank fitting. • Use a pressure relief valve. DO NOT • Attach pressure line to any annular space fitting. • Lift tank with pressure on it. This could result in personal injury. Step #4 • Apply a soapy water solution to all fittings and manways. • Check for leaks as indicated by bubbles. • If bubbles are present; tighten the plugs or bolts and retest.
