How Advanced Helium and Nitrogen Methods Ensure Accurate Leak Detection

When it comes to protecting your fuel storage systems, there is no room for guesswork. Even a small undetected leak can lead to costly environmental damage, compliance issues, and operational disruptions. That’s why Testank relies on advanced helium and nitrogen testing methods to deliver fast, accurate, and reliable leak detection services.

Why Helium and Nitrogen?

Helium and nitrogen are ideal gases for leak detection due to their small molecular size, non-reactive nature, and ability to safely navigate through complex tank systems. These gases help locate breaches with extreme precision — even those that are invisible to traditional detection methods.

  • Helium Testing: Helium, being one of the smallest and lightest molecules, can easily escape through the tiniest cracks. When introduced into a tank or line, it acts like a tracer gas, allowing our technicians to use specialized detectors to zero in on the exact location of a leak.

  • Nitrogen Pressure Testing: Nitrogen is an inert gas that’s pressurized into the tank or pipeline. A pressure drop indicates a breach, while the pressurization process itself helps reveal structural weaknesses that might otherwise go unnoticed.
