| 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.
Other liquids may be tested after consultation with the manufacturer. |
| Specification |
System tests
pressurized flexible pipelines. |
| Pipeline
Capacity |
Maximum of 49
gallons. |
| Waiting
Time |
None between
delivery and testing.
None between dispensing and testing. |
| Test
Period |
Response time is
less than 3 minutes. |
| 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 |
System must be
checked annually and, if necessary, calibrated in accordance with
manufacturer's instructions. |
| Comments |
Enviroflex
pipeline with a bulk modulus* of 1,280 psi was used during this
evaluation.
To perform a valid test, time delays must be integrated into electronic
dispensing equipment or retrofitted in junction box. Without this delay,
there is no guarantee that a nozzle will be closed for sufficient time to
allow leak detector to perform pipeline test and provide uninterrupted
service.
