(originally listed as Gilbarco Environmental Products and later as Marconi Commerce Systems)
EMC Environmental Management Console with Line Leak Detector, Series PA0263000060X (Same as Veeder-Root Series 8484)
(for Flexible Pipelines)
Automatic Electronic Line Leak Detector
| Certification | Leak rate of 3.0 gph at 10 psi* with PD = 100% and PFA = 0%. Leak rate of 0.2 gph at operating pressure with PD = 100% and PFA = 0%. Leak rate of 0.1 gph at 1.5 times operating pressure* with PD = 100% and PFA = 0%. *Since leak rate varies as a function of pressure, this leak rate and pressure were certified using an equivalent leak rate and pressure, in accordance with an acceptable protocol. |
|---|---|
| Leak Threshold | 1.5 gph for leak rate of 3.0 gph. 0.17 gph for leak rate of 0.2 gph. 0.05 gph for leak rate of 0.1 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. Tests are conducted at operating pressure. System will not function with a mechanical line leak detector installed in the pipeline. |
| Pipeline Capacity | Maximum of 40.8 gallons. |
| Waiting Time | None between delivery and testing. Minimum of 13 minutes between dispensing and testing for leak rate of 3.0 gph. Minimum of 4 minutes to 1 hour, 9 minutes between dispensing and testing for leak rate of 0.2 gph. Minimum of 1 to 4 hours between dispensing and testing for leak rate of 0.1 gph. |
| Test Period | Response time is 4 to 6 minutes for leak rate of 3.0 gph. Response time is 40 minutes to 1 hour for leak rate of 0.2 gph. Response time is 45 minutes to 1 hour, 15 minutes for leak rate of 0.1 gph. Test data are acquired and recorded by a microprocessor. Calculations are automatically performed by the microprocessor. |
| System Features | Permanent installation on pipeline. Automatic testing of pipeline. Preset threshold. Single test to determine if pipeline is leaking. Pump shutdown (optional), message display and alarm activation 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. |
