sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
Specificity
Results (in addition to above for TT502 and
TT5000):
Activated: synthetic
gasoline, diesel, heating oil #2, jet-A fuel (TT5000 only).
Not
Activated: water.
Specificity
Results (in addition to above for TT3000):
Activated:
water
Not
Activated: unleaded
gasoline, synthetic gasoline, diesel, JP-8 fuel.
Comments:
Evaluation
also covered quantitative leak location.
TT502,
TT5000 Fuel Sensing cable is not reusable.
Lower
detection limit is calculated at MER only, and cable is assumed to be equally or
more sensitive at shorter lengths.
