How is a Main Reservoir defect detected?

The detection of a Main Reservoir defect is primarily accomplished through the MR pressure gauge. This instrument provides vital information regarding the pressure levels within the main reservoir system. A significant drop in pressure readings can indicate a defect, such as a leak or failure in the reservoir. Monitoring the pressure helps ensure the proper functioning of the system and alerts operators to potential issues before they result in more significant problems.

While other methods, like auditory signs of leakage or visual inspection, can assist in identifying faults, they may not provide the precise and immediate information that a pressure gauge offers. Furthermore, assessing braking performance may reveal a problem indirectly, but it typically does not pinpoint a specific defect within the reservoir itself as effectively as the direct pressure gauge measurements. Thus, reliance on the MR pressure gauge is crucial for accurate and timely detection of defects in the Main Reservoir.
