Appendix A: The Acoustic Signal Produced by a Leak in the
Floor of an Aboveground Storage Tank
Appendix B: A Passive-Acoustic Method of Detecting Leaks in
the Floor of an Aboveground Storage Tank: Field Test Results

Gives details of a set of controlled experiments conducted on a 40-ft-diameter refinery tank to determine the nature of acoustic leak signals and ambient noise under a range of test conditions. The features of a leak detection test needed for high performance are explored. The report concludes that accurate and reliable leak detection of aboveground storage tanks can be achieved through the use of acoustic methods. Companion document Publ 323.
