STP-MLD-HC and STP-MLD-HCD Pipeline Leak Detectors
(for Rigid, Flexible, or Hybrid Combination of Rigid and Flexible Pipelines)
Automatic Mechanical Line Leak Detector
| Certification | Leak rate of 3.0 gph with PD = 100% and PFA = 0%. |
|---|---|
| Leak Threshold | 2.0 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 fuel for STP-MLD-HC. Diesel, kerosene for STP-MLD-HCD. Other liquids may be tested after consultation with the manufacturer. |
| Specification | System tests pressurized rigid, flexible, and combination of rigid and flexible pipelines. Tests are conducted at operating pressure. |
| Pipeline Capacity | Maximum of 396.6 gallons for rigid pipelines. Maximum of 95.5 gallons for flexible pipelines. Maximum combined capacity is 492.1 gallons, not to exceed the above individual capacity limitations for rigid or flexible pipelines. |
| Waiting Time | None between delivery and testing. None between dispensing and testing |
| Test Period | Response time is less than 30 seconds. |
| System Features | Permanent installation on pipeline. Automatic testing of pipeline. Preset threshold. Single test to determine if pipeline is leaking. Restricted flow to dispenser if leak is declared. |
| Calibration | 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. |
| Comments | STP-MLD-HC test conducted using gasoline in 200 feet of 3.25 inch fiberglass pipe. STP-MLD-HCD test conducted using diesel in 200 feet of 3.25 inch fiberglass pipe. |
