ABSTRACT:
A device for measuring leaks by measuring buoyancy force changes on a mechanical force transducer inserted into a liquid in the storage tank. The buoyancy force changes result in liquid level changes inside the tank which in turn cause moment forces acting on the mechanical force transducer. These moment forces cause strain changes in the mechanical force transducer. These strain changes are measured by a strain gage attached to the mechanical force transducer.
