The small triangle in the upper left corner of the water meter is a leak detector. If the triangle is rotating, water is moving through the meter. This detector will detect flows small enough that the sweep hand may appear to be standing still. The leak indicator can detect even the smallest amount of water being used. To check for leaks, turn everything off in the house that uses water, even an icemaker. See similar questions...

Shortly after the gas release, Union Carbide launched an aggressive effort to identify the cause. An initial investigation by Union Carbide experts showed that a large volume of water had apparently been introduced into the methylisocyanate (MIC) tank. This caused a chemical reaction that forced the pressure release valve to open and allowed the gas to leak. A committee of experts working on behalf of the Indian government conducted its own investigation and reached the same conclusion. See similar questions...

Odds are you won't have a natural gas leak in your home; but if you do, your nose will let you know.

Adding the odorant is one of the precautions we take to make natural gas the safest energy you can use. See similar questions...

Examples of reasonable steps would be to keep traffic clear of the area where the damage occurred or to evacuate the public in the area. See similar questions...

If inserted properly, The Keeper “should” not leak. However, some women find that it does-especially on those first 2 days. If you have a heavy flow or you wear it overnight, you might want some added protection. Or, you may find that you need to empty it slightly more often than you have been. Some women find that (on their heaviest days) it can leak somewhat, if it becomes full and is not emptied soon enough. See similar questions...

No. The IR5000 lets you know that there is a leak somewhere between the IR5000 source and receiver. Only point detectors such as the IR2100 or S4000C will tell you more information as to the leak location. See similar questions...

Investigations suggest that only an employee with the appropriate skills and knowledge of the site could have tampered with the tank. An independent investigation by the engineering consulting firm Arthur D. Little determined that the water could only have been introduced into the tank deliberately, since process safety systems -- in place and operational -- would have prevented water from entering the tank by accident.
