In liquid containment, a small flaw in a double-track weld might not leak water. But in gas containment, that same flaw is a highway for methane. We frequently see projects where the installer performed air channel testing (pressurizing the gap between the two weld tracks) but failed to hold the pressure long enough or ignored a slow pressure drop.

If a seam has a microscopic imperfection—a tiny air bubble or a speck of dust—the constant tension creates a stress concentration point. Over months and years of inflating (daytime) and deflating (nighttime or during gas off-take), this stress works to enlarge that imperfection. Eventually, the weld peels open or cracks. This is why "peel strength" and "shear strength" a cikin ƙayyadaddun kayan ku ba lambobi kawai ba ne; su ne masu hasashen ko shukar ku za ta zube cikin shekaru biyar.
