VENDOR EQUIPMENT NAME LEAK RATE / THRESHOLD / MAX TANK CAPACITY
Estabrook EZY CHEK Systems (originally listed as Horner EZY CHEK)

EZY 3

0.1 gph/ A tank system should not be declared tight when the vacuum decay is more than 1 inch water column pressure for non-volatile products and 10% of the lower determined vapor pressure for volatile products, or when water ingress is detected by the water sensor./50,000 gallons
EZY 3 Locator Plus 0.1 gph/ A tank system should not be declared tight when the acoustic signal detected is different from the baseline signal before a vacuum is placed on the tank, or when water ingress is detected by the water sensor./30,000 gallons
Protank, Inc. Fast Test (Underfill Test) 0.1 gph/ A tank system should not be declared tight when the acoustic signal detected is different from the baseline. Baseline is the acoustic signal before tank is evacuated./30,000 gallons
Tanknology – NDE Quick Test (Underfill Test) 0.1 gph/A tank system should not be declared tight when the acoustic signal detected is different than the baseline. Baseline is the acoustic signal before the tank is evacuated./30,000 gallons
VacuTect 0.1 gph/ A tank system should not be declared tight when:
sonic emission of air ingress is detected in ullage area and/or; sonic emission of bubbles formed by air ingress is detected in product-filled portion of the tank and/or; water ingress is detected at the bottom of the tank./75,000 gallons
Triangle Environmental, Inc. TEI System 5000, Version 1.0, Version 1.0W 0.1 gph/ A tank system should not be declared tight when the acoustic noise level of the tank under vacuum is greater than the calibrated background acoustic noise level (prior to evacuation)./20,000 gallons
