Certification
|
Leak
rate of 3.0 gph at 10 psi* with PD = 100% and PFA = 0%.
Leak rate of 0.2 gph at operating pressure with PD = 100%
and PFA = 0%.
Leak rate of 0.1 gph at 1.5 times operating pressure*
with PD = 100% and PFA = 0%.
*Since leak rate varies as a function of pressure, this
leak rate and pressure were certified using an equivalent
leak rate and pressure, in accordance with an acceptable
protocol.
|
|
Leak
Threshold
|
1.5
gph for leak rate of 3.0 gph.
0.1 gph for leak rate of 0.2 gph.
0.05 gph for leak rate of 0.1 gph.
A pipeline system should not be declared tight if the
test result indicates a loss that equals or exceeds this
threshold.
|
|
Applicability
|
Gasoline,
diesel, aviation fuels, fuel oil #4, waste oil, kerosene.
Other liquids may be tested after consultation with the
manufacturer.
|
|
Specification
|
System
tests pressurized rigid or flexible pipelines for all
leak rates.
System tests pressurized combination rigid and flexible
pipelines for 3.0 gph leak rate only.
Tests are conducted at operating pressure. |
|
Pipeline
Capacity
|
For
3.0 gph leak rate test:
Maximum of 396.6 gallons for rigid pipelines.
Maximum of 95.5 gallons for flexible pipelines.
Maximum of 492.1 gallons for combination of rigid and
flexible pipelines (rigid portion cannot exceed 396.6
gallons and flexible portion cannot exceed 95.5 gallons).
For 0.2 leak rate and 0.1 gph leak rate tests:
Maximum of 163 gallons for rigid pipelines (Example: 350
feet of 3 3/8 inch line).
Maximum of 39.5 gallons for flexible pipelines(Example:
430 feet of 1 ½ inch line). |
|
Waiting
Time
|
None
between delivery and testing.
None between dispensing and testing for leak rate of 3.0
gph.
Minimum of 3 hours between dispensing and testing for
leak rate of 0.2 gph.
Minimum of 6 hours between dispensing and testing for
leak rate of 0.1 gph.
|
|
Test
Period
|
Response
time is 10 minutes for leak rate of 3.0 gph.
Minimum of 25 minutes for leak rate of 0.2 gph.
Minimum of 34 minutes for leak rate of 0.1 gph.
Test data are acquired and recorded by a microprocessor.
|
|
System
Features
|
Permanent
installation on pipeline.
Automatic testing of pipeline every 45 minutes for leak
rate of 3.0 gph.
Automatic testing of pipeline when pump has been idle
for 3 hours for leak rate of 0.2 gph.
Automatic testing of pipeline when pump has been idle
for 6 hours for leak rate of 0.1 gph.
Preset threshold.
Triplicate testing to determine if pipeline is leaking.
Pump shutdown, indicator light and alarm activation if
leak is declared.
|
|
Calibration
|
System
must be checked annually and, if necessary, calibrated
in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
Equipment must be checked
annually for capability of detecting a line leak of
3.0 gph and, if necessary, calibrated in accordance
with manufacturer's instructions.
