| Comments |
System tests the
interstitial space between a properly fitted and installed flexible liner
inside a rigid tank, or between the rigid walls of a double-walled
tank.
Flexible liner is held in position by maintaining a vacuum on interstitial
space. Interstitial space is tested continuously.
System allows for permeation of vapor from stored substance into
interstitial space.
Vapor discharged from vacuum pump must meet applicable air quality
standards.
System detects breaches in either flexible internal liner or rigid tank
walls.
Reasonable temperature variations will not cause an alarm or missed
detection.
This system may not be compatible with all secondarily contained tanks
and/or piping. Always consult with the tank and/or piping manufacturer and
the manufacturer’s applicable recommended installation practices before
installing this system, or damage may be caused to the tank or piping by its
use. |
