NEW TEST METHOD FOR TANK LEAKAGE DURING SHIP CONSTRUCTION

This is a leak test method for water or oiltight structures of a vessel, and it allows almost all leak tests, which were formerly carried out after the completion of tank work, to be done at the stage of block assembly. This method in which the fillet air test method and the vacuum test method are used in combination, has been established after repeated model tests and application to actual vessels for more than one year, and has been approved by NK. It is very effective to apply this test method for quality control and saving of manpower, such as in confirmation of air-tightness and repair of leaking parts on the ground in good surroundings. This method can contribute to improvement of paint quality as all the tanks including the air-tight parts can be painted at an early stage.
