| 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. |
