Leaking tank testing device

Abstract

A leaking tank testing device, including a main body, a tubing system, including a main tube disposed within at least a portion of the main body, and an intake tube connected at a first end to the main tube to receive contents from a tank container, and a selector rotatably disposed on an outer surface of the main body to select a current mode of operation to compare a current pressure level of the tank container with a predetermined pressure level for normal operation.

1 . A leaking tank testing device, comprising:
 a main body;   a tubing system, comprising:
 a main tube disposed within at least a portion of the main body, and 
 an intake tube connected at a first end to the main tube to receive contents from a tank container; and 
   a selector rotatably disposed on an outer surface of the main body to select a current mode of operation to compare a current pressure level of the tank container with a predetermined pressure level for normal operation.   
     
     
         2 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises:
 a meter disposed on at least a portion of an outer surface of the main body.   
     
     
         3 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a gauge port disposed within at least a portion of the main body and connected to the meter to send at least a portion of the contents therethrough, such that the meter displays the current pressure level of the current mode of operation.   
     
     
         4 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 1 , wherein the selector comprises:
 a detent to prevent automatic rotation of the selector.   
     
     
         5 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a vacuum monitor disposed on at least a portion of the main body to display a gradient in pressure between the contents in the tubing system and an external pressure outside of the main body in response to the selector being moved to a vacuum testing mode.   
     
     
         6 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 5 , wherein the vacuum monitor determines that the tank container has a leak when the current pressure level is less than the predetermined pressure level. 
     
     
         7 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a seal disposed on at least a portion of the main body to cover at least a portion of the main tube in response to the selector being moved to a pressure testing mode.   
     
     
         8 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a check valve to prevent the contents from flowing in opposite directions.   
     
     
         9 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a hose quick connector disposed on a first end of the main body to connect to a hose from the tank container.   
     
     
         10 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 9 , wherein the intake tube is disposed at a second end within at least a portion of the hose quick connector. 
     
     
         11 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an air pressure quick connector disposed on a second end of the main body to receive a safety coupler thereupon to reduce pressure buildup within the tubing system.   
     
     
         12 . A leaking tank testing device, comprising:
 a main body;   a tubing system, comprising:
 a main tube disposed within at least a portion of the main body, and 
 an intake tube connected at a first end to the main tube to receive contents from a tank container; 
   a selector connected to the main body to select a current mode of operation to compare a current pressure level of the tank container with a predetermined pressure level for normal operation; and   a vacuum monitor connected to the main body to determine that the tank container has a leak when the current pressure level is less than the predetermined pressure level.   
     
     
         13 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 12 , wherein the vacuum monitor displays a gradient in pressure between the contents in the tubing system and an external pressure outside of the main body in response to the selector being moved to a vacuum testing mode. 
     
     
         14 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 12 , wherein the selector is rotatably disposed on an outer surface of the main body. 
     
     
         15 . A leaking tank testing device, comprising:
 a main body;   a tubing system connected to the main body to receive contents from a tank container; and   a selector connected to the main body to select a current mode of operation to compare a current pressure level of the tank container with a predetermined pressure level for normal operation.   
     
     
         16 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 15 , wherein the tubing system comprises:
 a main tube disposed within at least a portion of the main body; and   an intake tube connected at a first end to the main tube to receive contents from the tank container.   
     
     
         17 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 a vacuum monitor connected to the main body to determine that the tank container has a leak when the current pressure level is less than the predetermined pressure level.   
     
     
         18 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 17 , wherein the vacuum monitor displays a gradient in pressure between the contents in the tubing system and an external pressure outside of the main body in response to the selector being moved to a vacuum testing mode. 
     
     
         19 . The leaking tank testing device of  claim 15 , wherein the selector is rotatably disposed on an outer surface of the main body.
