loading, chemical temperature and storage time duration. Tank piping flexible couplers <br />shall be designed to allow 4% design movement. Movement shall be considered to occur <br />both outward in tank radius and downward in fitting elevation from the neutral tank fitting <br />placement. <br />11.10.2 The flexible connection is to be manufactured of the same material as the tank or <br />a compatible material approved by the project engineer. If an elastomer flexible connection <br />is used control bolts are required if recommended by the manufacturer. The flexible <br />connection is to be designed for a minimum of 4% movement. The flexible connection is to <br />be designed with 150# flange connections to allow for attachment to the tank and the piping <br />system. The flexible connection is to be attached as close as possible to the tank to reduce <br />stress. <br />12. Tank Attachments <br />12.1 Tank Attachments — Ultrasonic Level Indicator <br />12.1.1 a. The ultrasonic enclosure is to be an all plastic design with a NEMA 4X rating. The <br />ultrasonic transducer is to have a 12" dead band and beam with a 20 ft range. The supply <br />voltage can be 110, 220 VAC or 24 VDC. The connection to the tank is to be 2" NPT. <br />The ultrasonic level indicator shall provide a visual display of liquid level in the tank <br />showing gallonage in measurement of hundreds of gallons along with 4-20 mA output for <br />other alarm or control systems as well as four independent contacts capable of handling 10 <br />amps each. Each contact can be programmed to operate in different opening and closing <br />methods (7 modes). Contacts can be used to control pumps, valves, alarms, etc. <br />12.2 Tank Attachments — Leak Detector Unit <br />12.2.1 The leak detector unit shall consist of a proximity sensor, a welded 2 in. fpt <br />connection, a 2 in. bung plug with a % in strain relief, and an indicator box. The sensor is <br />placed in the interstitial space between the primary and secondary tanks approximately 1 in <br />above the tank bottom. The indicator box shall be Nema 4 rated and factory pre -wired for <br />110 VAC power. All connections shall be labeled to prevent errors in field installation. The <br />indicator box will show a green light when power is on and the sensor is not detecting a <br />liquid. The light is a push to test light allowing the operator to test for power outage or <br />malfunction. If the green light goes out there are two possibilities. The green light does not <br />come on when the button is pushed. This would indicate a lack of power to the unit or the <br />light bulb is burned out. If the green light comes on when pushed, then a possible leak <br />condition is indicated. <br />12.3 Level Indication <br />12.3.1 Sight Level Gage <br />a. The sight level gage shall be constructed of flexible PVC tubing to allow for tank <br />contraction and expansion due to loading and temperature changes. The level gage shall be <br />connected to the tank at the top of the tank with lea. appropriate 3/4" fitting as described in <br />section 11.1 or 11.2. and to a tee off of the drain / transition fitting. Each fitting can have <br />valves installed for isolation or drainage purposes. <br />12.3.2 Manway and Fill Cap (Non -sealed) <br />12.3.2 Manways are available in an 18 in. vented or non -vented threaded design or hinged <br />style (minimum opening diameter of 15 in.) and a 24 in. vented or non -vented threaded or <br />hinged style (minimum opening diameter of 22 in.) on various tank sizes. COW <br />manufacture's specification drawing for availability and position. nt.CEIVED <br />12.3.3 All caps and manways shall be constructed of polyethylene material. <br />JUL 2 8 2014 <br />ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH <br />DEPARTMENT <br />
