Patent

CA 2382801

A method of locating a potential source of fuel leakage in an aircraft fuel tank including the steps of: sealing a vacuum tight cover over the whole seam on the surface of the empty fuel tank where there is a suspected source of fuel leak; removing the air between the cover and the surface; measuring the vacuum between cover and the surface; comparing the measured vacuum with a predetermined acceptable datum vacuum value. The technique of sealing a vacuum tight cover to a surface is known as "bagging".

L'invention concerne un procédé de localisation d'une source potentielle de fuite de carburant dans un réservoir d'aéroplane consistant à sceller une couverture étanche au vide, sur la totalité du joint, sur la surface du réservoir de carburant vide, où l'on suspecte que se produise une fuite de carburant, à éliminer l'air entre la couverture et la surface, à mesurer le vide entre la couverture et la surface, et à comparer le vide mesuré à une valeur de vide de référence prédéterminée, acceptable. La technique consistant à sceller une couverture étanche au vide sur une surface est connue sous le nom de "membranage".
