| 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 |
2.0 gph for leak
rate of 3.0 gph.
0.1 gph for leak rate of 0.2 gph.
0.047 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, methanol and methanol blends, ethanol blends up through
E100, biodiesel blends B6-B20 meeting ASTM
D7467, biodiesel B100 meeting ASTM D6751.
|
| Specification |
System tests
pressurized fiberglass and steel pipelines.
Tests are conducted at operating pressure. |
| Pipeline
Capacity |
Maximum of 55.1
gallons. |
| Waiting
Time |
None between
delivery and testing.
None between dispensing and testing. |
| Test
Period |
Response time is
2 minutes for leak rate of 3.0 gph.
Response time is 10 minutes to 3 hours for leak rate of 0.2 gph.
Response time is 2 hours, 30 minutes to 3 hours 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.
Recording and display of day, date, and time of conclusive test.
Pump shutdown, message display, and alarm activation if leak is declared. |
| Calibration |
System must be
checked annually and, if necessary, calibrated in accordance with
manufacturer's instructions. |
| Comments |
PPM 4000 is a
stand alone automatic electronic line leak detector. RLM 9000 is a
combination of RLM 5000 automatic tank gauge and PPM 4000 automatic
electronic line leak detector. |
