LINE TIGHTNESS
TEST METHOD
Certification |
Leak
rate of 0.1 gph with PD = 99.8% and PFA = 0.2%. |
Leak
Threshold |
0.05
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, fuel oil #4.
Other liquids may be tested after consultation with the
manufacturer. |
Specification |
System
tests flexible pipelines.
Tests are conducted at 150% operating pressure.
Mechanical line leak detector must be removed from pipeline
for duration of test. |
Pipeline
Capacity |
Maximum
of 101 gallons (example: 275 feet of 3 inch line). |
Waiting
Time |
None
between delivery and testing. None between dispensing
and testing. |
Test
Period |
Under
ideal conditions 30 minutes; actual test time will depend
on line size and temperature conditions at the site.
Data are collected every 15 minutes.
Three consecutive consistent readings are required for a valid test.
Data from the evaluation suggests that the actual minimum test time for a line this size is 2 hours.
