EZY-Chek Manual Line Leak Detector (for Flexible Pipelines)
Line Tightness Test Method
| Certification | Leak rate of 0.1 gph with PD = 99.8% and PFA = 0.2%. |
|---|---|
| Leak Threshold | 0.05 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, fuel oil #4. Other liquids may be tested after consultation with the manufacturer. |
| Specification | System tests flexible pipelines. Tests are conducted at 150% operating pressure. Mechanical line leak detector must be removed from pipeline for duration of test. |
| Pipeline Capacity | Maximum of 101 gallons (example: 275 feet of 3 inch line). |
| Waiting Time | None between delivery and testing. None between dispensing and testing. |
| Test Period | Under ideal conditions 30 minutes; actual test time will depend on line size and temperature conditions at the site. Data are collected every 15 minutes. Three consecutive consistent readings are required for a valid test. Data from the evaluation suggests that the actual minimum test time for a line this size is 2 hours. Consistent readings for three consecutive readings are required for a valid test. Data from the evaluation suggests that the actual minimum test time for a line this size is 2 hours. Test data are acquired and recorded manually. Manual calculations performed by the operator on site. |
| Calibration | No temperature sensors used. No calibration required. System must be checked annually in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Technicians must be certified by the manufacturer prior to using this equipment, and recertified every two years. |
