  VENDOR

  EQUIPMENT NAME

LEAK RATE/THRESHOLD/
MAX TANK CAPACITY

Estabrook EZY CHEK Systems (originally listed as Horner EZY CHEK)

EZY 3

0.1 gph/ A tank system should not be declared tight when the vacuum decay is more than 1 inch water column pressure for non-volatile products and 10% of the lower determined vapor pressure for volatile products, or when water ingress is detected by the water sensor./50,000 gallons

 

EZY 3 Locator Plus

0.1 gph/ A tank system should not be declared tight when the acoustic signal detected is different from the baseline signal before a vacuum is placed on the tank, or when water ingress is detected by the water sensor./30,000 gallons

Mesa Engineering Mesa 2-D Method with ACT v1 Water Level Sensor 0.1 gph/A tank system should not be declared tight when an acoustic signal is detected above the background or baseline noise by a computer data acquisition system, or when water ingress is detected by the water sensor./30,000 gallons

Protank, Inc.

Fast Test
(Underfill Test)

0.1 gph/ A tank system should not be declared tight when the acoustic signal detected is different from the baseline.  Baseline is the acoustic signal before tank is evacuated./30,000 gallons

Tanknology – NDE

Quick Test
(Underfill Test)

0.1 gph/A tank system should not be declared tight when the acoustic signal detected is different than the baseline.  Baseline is the acoustic signal before the tank is evacuated./30,000 gallons

 

VacuTect

0.1 gph/ A tank system should not be declared tight when:
sonic emission of air ingress is detected in ullage area and/or; sonic emission of bubbles formed by air ingress is detected in product-filled portion of the tank and/or; water ingress is detected at the bottom of the tank./75,000 gallons

Triangle Environmental, Inc.

TEI System 5000, Version 1.0, Version 1.0W

0.1 gph/ A tank system should not be declared tight when the acoustic noise level of the tank under vacuum is greater than the calibrated background acoustic noise level (prior to evacuation). /20,000 gallons
