Abstract
The tank wall is provided with a cylindrical collar in which a perforated tube base is mounted; the base having a set of tubes passing through in gas-tight relation. A thin sheet metal membrane is secured peripherally on the tube base to form an enclosed gas-tight chamber through which the tubes pass. The membrane is also perforated to permit passage of the tubes in a gas-tight relationship. The enclosed chamber permits monitoring of the imperviousness of the connections between the tubes and the tube base.
