Abstract: A method is described for checking the sealing of a sealed and thermally insulating tank for storing a liquefied gas at low temperature. The tank has a primary space and a secondary space where, in order to perform the check, a difference in pressure is created between the two spaces at least some of the inert gas injected into the primary space is recovered via at least one secondary outlet of the secondary space so as to be reinjected into the primary space.

Abstract: A device for monitoring the tightness of a sealing component wherein the monitoring device has a box with a peripheral partition and a cover made of a transparent material is disclosed. The cover is connected to the peripheral partition such that the cover and the peripheral partition are able to define, with a sealing component, an inner chamber, the peripheral partition with an inner peripheral wall having a lower end equipped with an inner peripheral seal intended to be positioned against the sealing component all around the inner chamber, and an outer peripheral wall arranged outside the inner peripheral wall so as to define, between the outer peripheral wall and the inner peripheral wall, an intermediate chamber extending exclusively in the peripheral partition all around the inner chamber.

Abstract: A floating structure including a sealed and thermally insulated tank. An upper bearing wall bears a turret-like cargo tank dome intended for the passage of cargo handling equipment. The turret-like cargo tank dome with an internal fluidtight wall forming a sheath engaged through the opening in the upper bearing wall and connected in fluidtight manner to the primary sealing membrane of the upper tank wall all around the sheath. Respective primary and secondary venting devices allow gas to be vented respectively from the primary and secondary spaces of the turret-like cargo tank dome. A gas reservoir containing a tracer gas that is non-condensable or that has a condensation temperature below the low temperature of the liquefied gas contained in the tank is connected via a control valve to one of the venting devices that are the primary venting device and the secondary venting device.
