Model 327 VLLD Line Leak Detector
(for Rigid, Flexible, or Hybrid Combination of
Rigid and 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 = 97.9% and PFA
= 2.1%.
*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.
0.1 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, ethanol blends up through E100, biodiesel blends B6-B20
meeting ASTM D7467, biodiesel B100 meeting ASTM D6751.
|
| Specification |
System tests
pressurized rigid or flexible or a combination of rigid and flexible pipelines
for all leak rates..
Tests are conducted at operating pressure. |
| Pipeline
Capacity |
For all leak rates
3.0 gph, 0.2 gph and 0.1 gph:
Maximum of
425.8 gallons for rigid pipelines.
Maximum of
109.8 gallons for flexible pipelines.
Maximum
combined capacity is 535.7 gallons, not to exceed the above individual
capacity limitations for rigid or flexible pipelines. |
| Waiting
Time |
None between
delivery and testing.
None between dispensing and testing for all leak rate 3.0 gph, 0.2 gph and
0.1 gph. |
| Test
Period |
Response time is
3 minutes or less for leak rate of 3.0 gph.
Minimum of 204 minutes for leak rate of 0.2 gph.
Minimum of 204 minutes for leak rate of 0.1 gph.
Test data are acquired and recorded by a microprocessor. |
| System
Features |
Permanent
installation on pipeline.
Automatic testing of pipeline every 45 minutes for leak rate of 3.0 gph.
Automatic testing
of pipeline for leak rate of 0.2 gph based upon thermal condition.
Automatic testing
of pipeline for leak rate of 0.1 gph based upon thermal conditions.
Preset threshold.
Single test to determine if pipeline is leaking.
Pump shutdown, indicator light, and alarm activation if leak is declared. |
| Calibration |
System must be
checked annually and, if necessary, calibrated in accordance with
manufacturer's instructions. |
