Locate Your Pipeline Leak or You Don't Pay MediVac
Technologies has been successful in locating
leaks in buried pipelines even when covered with up to
25 feet of
dirt and paving materials. Our highly accurate method of
helium leak testing allows us to determine a leakage point to within
a few feet keeping excavation to a minimum. This method is useful
for any size or type of underground pipe and does not leave any residue or
require complete removal of product prior to testing.
Pipeline leak testing with helium is
often the fastest and most economical way to locate leaks on buried
pipelines. Even very large leaks or breaks in pipes will not always
allow water to come to the surface. This water can be channeled long
distances along the pipe and drain underground. Helium always comes
to the surface where it is easily detected. Helium is also an FDA
approved food additive and is safe for use in potable water systems.
MediVac
also utilizes the helium leak detection method to test petroleum
tank bottoms. Whether trying to pinpoint a leak for repair or for
certification of a new or retrofitted tank bottom our services will
save you time and money. The
techniques used to leak test both underground pipelines and tank floor
bottoms are very similar. Helium is injected either under the tank
floor or into the pipeline and a small pressure differential is achieved.
Our technician then scans the tank floor or the ground above the
pipeline looking for helium escaping from leaks. We use only
state-of-the-art portable mass spectrometer helium leak detectors
and are able to scan any length of pipe or size of tank floor. All
leak testing is performed in accordance with the ASME's Boiler
Code section five, article ten "Leak Testing" by
experienced technicians.
If you have tried ultrasonic or
other less sensitive leak detection methods in the past you will be pleasantly
surprised by the accuracy of helium leak testing. Our technicians
are experts at leak testing tank bottoms and underground pipelines and are certified
to SNT-TC-1A from ASNT.
