0 0 <br />Results of Third Party Standard Evaluation <br />Point Sensor Liquid Contact Product Detectors <br />This form documents the performance of the cable sensor liquid contact leak detection system described below. <br />The evaluation was conducted by the equipment manufacturer or a consultant to the manufacturer according to the <br />Third Party Procedures developed according to the U.S. EPA's "Standard Test Procedure for Evaluating Leak <br />Detection Methods: Liquid -Phase Out -of -Tank Product Detectors.»1 <br />Tank owners using this leak detection system should keep this form on file to prove compliance with the federal <br />regulations. Tank owners should check with state and local agencies to verify that this form satisfies their <br />requirements. <br />Method Description <br />Name TLS -350/300/300i Series UST Monitoring System <br />Version with Interstitial Liquid Sensor for Fiberglass Tanks (0794390-401,404,407,409L <br />Vendor Veeder-Root Environmental Products <br />125 Powder Forest Drive <br />(street address) <br />Simsbury.

The following parameters were determined: <br />• Detection Accuracy - The measure of sensor response to the presence of liquids. <br />• Response Time - Amount of time the detector must be exposed to liquid before it responds. <br />• Recovery Time - Amount of time that passes before the detector returns to its baseline reading <br />after the test liquid is removed. <br />• Lower Detection Limit - The smallest liquid concentration that the detector can reliably detect. <br />• Product Activation Height - The height of liquid to cause sensor activation. <br />• Specificity - Indicates the level of response, of the detector, to several different liquids. <br />1 Carnegie Mellon Research Institute.
