AUTOMATIC
ELECTRONIC LINE LEAK DETECTOR
|
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
|
1.5
gph for leak rate of 3.0 gph.
0.1 gph for leak rate of 0.2 gph.
0.05 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 fuels, fuel oil #4, waste oil, kerosene, biodiesel B6-B20 meeting ASTM D7467, biodiesel B100 meeting ASTM D6751.
|
|
Specification
|
On
pressurized rigid flexible, or combination rigid and flexible
pipelines, system can perform
3.0 gph, 0.2 gph,and 0.1 gph tests.
Tests are conducted at operating pressure. |
|
Pipeline
Capacity
|
Maximum
of 312.2 gallons for steel and fiberglass pipelines (examples:
480 feet of 4 inch line; 671 feet of 3 3/8 inch line ).
Maximum of 95.4 gallons for flexible pipelines (examples:
260 feet of 3 inch line; 1040 feet of 1 ½ inch
line).
Maximum of 415.8 gallons for hybrid combination rigid and flexible
pipelines (the capacity of the flexible component cannot
exceed 95.4 gallons).
Maximum of 176 gallons for Franklin Fueling Systems UPP semi-rigid pipeline. (example: 513 feet of 3 inch line; 1892 feet of 1 1/2 inch line).
|
|
Waiting
Time
|
None
between delivery and testing.
None between dispensing and testing for leak rate of 3.0
gph.
Depending on temperature stability, 1½ to 10 hours
between dispensing and testing for leak rates of 0.2 gph
and 0.1 gph. |
|
Test
Period
|
Response
time is 1 to 2 minutes for leak rate of 3.0 gph.
Minimum of 25 minutes for leak rate of 0.2 gph.
Minimum of 34 minutes for leak rate of 0.1 gph.
Test data are acquired and recorded by a microprocessor. |
|
System
Features
|
Permanent
installation on pipeline.
Automatic testing of pipeline every 45 minutes for leak
rate of 3.0 gph.
Automatic testing of pipeline when pump has been idle
for 2 hours for leak rate of 0.2 gph.
Automatic testing of pipeline when pump has been idle
for 3½ hours for leak rate of 0.1 gph.
Pump shutdown, indicator light and alarm activation if
leak is declared for 3.0 gph and 0.2 gph tests.
The TS-LS500E series is an explosion proof version of the original TS-LS500 series.

Calibration
|
System
must be checked annually and, if necessary, calibrated
in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
Equipment
must be checked annually for capability of detecting
a line leak of 3.0 gph and, if necessary, calibrated
in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. |
