Field Investigation of Natural Gas Pipeline Accident, Canterbury Woods, Annandale, Virginia
On the morning of March 24, 1972, in Annandale, Virginia, two homes were destroyed and a third home damaged by gas explosions and fires resulting from a construction accident that caused the gas main leak. The National Transportation Safety Board was responsible for investigating this accident and requested that the National Bureau of Standards assist them with their investigation by conducting a field test at the accident site. The objective of the test was to determine how the natural gas entered the homes and the paths the gas followed from the leak to the homes. Electronic catalytic leak detectors were used to detect the tracer in homes and elsewhere on the test site. The test results substantiated the basic test premise, and tracer was detected in the basements of the two destroyed homes and the damaged home, but not in the undamaged homes.
