The following is a summary of the results [a <br /> complete copy of the test results is available upon request]: <br /> • There were no failures. <br /> * Under conditions of thermal expansion and thermal contraction, the LD-2000 was <br /> tested to find a 1.7gph @ 10 psi leak. (EPA protocols allow a 3.0 gph leak rate.). <br /> • Under neutral test conditlons, the LD-2000 will detect leaks under 2 gph. <br /> • The average leak sense time to full flow was under 5 seconds. <br /> • 125 ml vapor resiliency was added to the line system with no failures. <br /> The Head Pressure Reset Test was performed at 10 feet. There were no failures in all <br /> 25 tests. [Head pressure reset ensures that all buried pipe is protected.] <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 <br /> CFR Part 280: Underground Storage Tanks; �. <br /> T Technical Requirements <br /> 10' <br /> Summary:The Environmental Protection Agency <br /> (EPA) published a final rule about the technical <br /> requirements for underground storage tanks <br /> (USTs). After September 22, 1991, UST owners <br /> and operators must install automatic line leak <br /> detectors on new or existing underground <br /> pressurized piping systems. Owners and operators <br /> are required to (1) equip all pressurized piping with <br /> an automatic leak detector and 2 have either an <br /> annual line tightness test conducted, or conduct <br /> monthly monitoring. Also, all automatic line leak <br /> detectors are required to detect leak rates of 3 <br /> ` gallons per hour (GPH) at 10 pounds per square <br /> inch (psi)within 1 hour, with a detection <br /> probability of 95% and a false alarm probability of <br /> Manufactured by: j <br /> Vaporless Manufacturing, Inc. <br /> i <br /> 9234-C East Valley Road <br /> Prescott Valley, AZ 86314 (. l <br /> 602-775-5191 1.800-367-0185 <br /> i <br />
