*Evaluations determined these sensors' responses to the liquids
shown above and those indicated in the following section. Biodiesel blends
B6-B20 meeting ASTM D7467 and biodiesel B100 meeting ASTM D6751 would also
produce an alarm if the sensor threshold is exceeded. Responses to these
fuels were not determined, but would be expected to be very similar to the
diesel responses.
Specificity
Results (in addition to above):
Activated:
synthetic gasoline, n-hexane,
jet-A fuel, toluene, xylene(s).
Comments:
Evaluator
claims sensors will respond to any liquid once threshold has been exceeded.
After
exposure to diesel, RE400-204-5 Dispenser
Pan Monitor reading may not return to pre-contaminated level.
Sensors
are reusable.
