AUTOMATIC TANK GAUGING METHOD
Certification |
Leak rate of 0.2
gph with PD = 97.5% and PFA = 2.5%. |
Leak
Threshold |
0.1 gph.
A tank system should not be declared tight if the test result indicates a
loss or gain that equals or exceeds this threshold. |
Applicability |
Gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, fuel oil #4, biodiesel blends B6-B20 meeting ASTM D7467, biodiesel B100 meeting ASTM D6751
|
Tank
Capacity |
Maximum of 30,000
gallons.
Tanks less than 95% full may be tested. Minimum product level required is
based on tank diameter as follows:
48" dia/ min 12";
64" dia/ min 15";
72" dia/ min 16";
96" dia/ min 20";
126" dia/ min 25";
132" dia/ min 26".
For other tank diameters, consult manufacturer. |
Waiting
Time |
Proteus Series
OEL 8000III: Minimum of 4 hours between delivery and testing. OEL Series:
Minimum of 4 hours between delivery and testing. There must be no
delivery during waiting time. |
Test
Period |
Proteus Series
OEL 8000III: Minimum of 4 hours. OEL Series: Minimum of 4 hours, 30
minutes. Test data are acquired and recorded by the controller. Leak
rate is calculated from data determined to be valid by statistical
analysis. There must be no dispensing or delivery during test. |
Temperature |
Average for
product is determined by a probe containing a minimum of 5 thermistors.
At least one thermistor must be submerged in product during test. |
Water
Sensor |
Must be used to
detect water ingress.
Minimum detectable water level in the tank is 0.055 inch.
Minimum detectable change in water level is 0.011 inch. |
Calibration |
No calibration
required. |
Comments |
Not evaluated
using manifolded tank systems. Therefore, this certification is only
applicable when there is a probe used in each tank and the siphon is broken
during testing. Proteus Series OEL 8000III: evaluated with both 2 and 4
inch diameter floats. OEL Series: evaluated with only 4 inch diameter
floats. Tests only portion of tank containing product. As product
level is lowered, leak rate in a leaking tank decreases (due to lower head
pressure). Consistent testing at low levels could allow a leak to remain
undetected. EPA leak detection regulations require testing of the portion
of the tank system which routinely contains product. |
