  EQUIPMENT NAME

  LEAK RATE/THRESHOLD/
MAX ULLAGE CAPACITY

Leighton O’Brien Leighton O’Brien Dry Test
(Pressure Decay Test)
0.1 gph/ A tank system should not be declared tight when the pressure decay results in a failure indication or is inconclusive. /20,000 gallons (or larger via extrapolation)
  Leighton O’Brien 0.025 gph Dry Test
(Pressure Decay Test)
0.025 gph / Tank ullage should not be declared tight when the pressure decay results in an indication of a 0.025 gph or greater loss. / 30,000 gallons
MassTech International, Ltd.

MassTech Analog Acoustic Vacuum Method
(Vacuum Test)

0.1 gph/ Tank ullage should not be declared tight when the acoustic signal characteristic of a leak is detected./20,000 gallons
 

MassTech Remote Spectral Analysis Method
(Vacuum Test)

 

0.1 gph/ Tank ullage should not be declared tight when the digital recording of the noise spectrum of tank under vacuum has a detectable difference from the digital recording of the noise spectrum of tank at zero pressure./20,000 gallons
  MassTech 002 Ullage Test System
(Pressure or Vacuum Test)
0.1 gph/Tank ullage should not be declared tight when a predetermined threshold is exceeded.  This threshold may be modified by the results of the static test./30,000 gallons

ProTank, Inc.

UTF-5000 Ullage Tester
(Pressure Test)

0.1 gph/ A tank system should not be declared tight when the make-up gas flow rate into ullage equals or exceeds 0.275 cubic feet/hour./7,500 gallons

 

UTFP-5000 Ullage Tester (Pressure Test)

0.1 gph/ A tank system should not be declared tight when the pressure decay trend equals or exceeds ± 0.016 psi/hr./10,260 gallons

Purpora Engineering, Inc.

 

Alert 8200 Series Sonde Ullage 0.1 gph/A tank system should not be declared tight if the ratio of the ultrasonic signal (when the tank is under pressure or vacuum) to the background signal (prior to pressurization or evacuation) equals or exceeds 1.5 for either 12 kHz or 25 kHz frequency band./30,000 gallons
Purpora Engineering, Inc. (originally listed by Alert Technologies Inc.) Alert Ullage System Model 1050
(Pressure and Vacuum Test)
0.1 gph/ A tank system should not be declared tight if the ratio of the ultrasonic signal (when the tank is under pressure or vacuum) to the background signal (prior to pressurization or evacuation) equals or exceeds 1.5 for either 12 kHz or 25 kHz frequency band./6,000 gallons
Purpora Engineering, Inc. (originally listed by Alert Technologies Inc.) Alert Ullage System Model 1050 X
(Vacuum Test)
0.1 gph/ A tank system should not be declared tight if the ratio of the ultrasonic signal (when the tank is under vacuum) to the background signal (prior to evacuation) equals or exceeds 1.5 for either 12 kHz or 25 kHz frequency band./24,000 gallons
