This protocol does not specify line or tank size based on the test conditions. It does not function as a conventional leak detector, but rather as a system to prevent the loss of product to the environment in as fail safe manner -'as possible. The protocol specifies that the interstitial space for a tank must be less than or equal to 8 cubic meters (2114 gal). The interstitial space for a line must be less than or equal to 20 cubic meters (2642 gal). There are no other size or design characteristic requirements. The sensor operating principle uses a series of pressure switches to control the pump and trigger and alarm with pump shutdown. The approximate air or vapor leak rate which would produce an alarm is specified as greater than. 85±15 liters per hour for all systems. Leaks larger than this should produce an alarm. Temperature Effects This system was tested over a range of temperature conditions of -25 deg C to 70 deg C. The 'system (X) did or ( ) did not pass all of these tests. Effects of a Catastrophic Laak A catastrophic leak tivill cause an immediate shut down of the pump. (K) yes () no limitatzons on the Rz5ult3 The ecti—n amS above are only valid when.
