seal inspection equipment

This is what I believe it is. I have just remembered that I recently did a French-English translation re quality control and I translated "control" as inspection.

Hope this helps.

instalaciones is not often translated directly as "installations" in English, but rather "equipment/system".:) FWIW.

reservoir control

THIS IS ONLY AN EDUCATED GUESS..... Like a trip switch in an electrical circuit, the 'estanque' or tank / pressure reservoir allows a certain limit of negative pressure difference to build up without causing damage to the principal equipment as it is isolated....

Spanish term (edited): instalaciones de control de estanqueidad

water-tightness control facilities

I've translated a very similar text in the past, and this is what I used.

From Spanish-English Dictionary (Granada University, Spain), 10.5

estanqueidad
= watertightness.
Ex: During the construction of these basements for book storage careful considerations given to watertightness and groundwater level monitoring.

Thanks liz. I found "Leakage control installations". But I'm not sure it's the same thing. BTW here is some more context I forgot to include: "La empresa dispone y desarrolla sistemas a medida de instalaciones de control de estanqueidad mediante detección de fugas de Helio. Principalmente se aplica en los sectores de refrigeración industrial, aire acondicionado, aeroespacial, automoción, componentes eléctricos y otras industrias. "·
