Latest Patents
Austin B Raabe holds a patent for a leak detection method and apparatus. This invention provides a straightforward way for a layman to determine if an underground storage tank is leaking. The apparatus consists of a housing containing a detection tube that is lowered into a well near the tank. A vacuum pump pulls air through the detection tube, allowing the sampled air to reveal the presence of vapor from the suspected tank. The method utilizes a discrete sample of air, with the quantity determined by a detection tube sensitive to carbon dioxide. An indication of the carbon dioxide quantity can be related to the volume of air through established relationships. The design includes a float that carries the housing, ensuring the intake remains just above the water surface in the well.
