Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005033576A1] The invention comprises the following steps consisting of: measuring the temperature of the wall of a reservoir (4) at two locations, one of which being located no higher than the minimum admissible level of separation and the other being no lower than the maximum authorized level, this measurement being effected in a limited period of time after the filling of the reservoir, and; comparing the measured temperatures in order to remove the reservoir from the commercial circuit when the temperatures are identical. The device comprises a frame (1) that supports two infrared pyrometers (6) oriented toward the reservoir (4) and placed at locations thereof, and comprises processing means for comparing the temperatures measured by the pyrometers in order to remove the reservoir from the commercial circuit when the temperatures are identical.
