Certification

Leak rate of 3.0 gph with PD = 100% and PFA = 0%. 

Leak Threshold

3.0 gph at 10 psi equivalent.
A pipeline system should not be declared tight if the test result indicates a loss that equals or exceeds this threshold.   

Applicability

For BFX1V: Gasoline/ethanol blends up through E85.
For BFX1DV: Biodiesel up through B100.

Specification 

System tests pressurized pipelines.
Tests are conducted at 8-16 psi. 

Pipeline Capacity 

Maximum of 425.84 gallons for rigid pipelines.
Maximum of 643 gallons for semi-rigid pipelines.
Maximum of 109.84 gallons for flexible pipelines.
Maximum of 1178.68 gallons for a combined rigid, semi-rigid, flexible hybrid pipeline with a minimum Bulk Modulus of 17,052 psi.

Waiting Time 

None between delivery and testing.
None between dispensing and testing.
Stabilization time up to 45 minutes may be required after dispensing when temperature extremes are present.

Test Period

Test Period Response time is typically less than 2-3 seconds in a line with no leak. 

System Features 

Permanent installation on pipeline.
Automatic testing of pipeline.
Preset threshold.
Total vertical rise of pipeline must not exceed 11 feet above leak detector.
Single test to determine if pipeline is leaking.
Restricted flow to dispenser if leak is declared.
