ABSTRACT:
A method of testing bottoms of large storage tanks. It involves sealing the outer edges of the bottom plate against gas leakage, followed by feeding a halogen gas to the under side of the bottom plate. Then the top of the bottom plate inside the tank is scanned manually, using a hand-held halogen detector in order to detect any leaks.
