a <br />L <br />EPA investigations show that the large majority of existing UST leaks are found in <br />piping systems. Pressurized piping, the most commonly used type in the U.S., <br />can release large amounts of petroleum products through a small hole in a <br />short period of time. For this reason new laws require that all pressurized <br />piping systems contain automatic leak detection equipment capable of <br />detecting a 3 gallon per hour leak ( at 10 psi) within one hour of its <br />occurrence. This is objective identified in case 1 above; large leak/quickly. <br />Only pressurized lines are required to detect large leaks in a short time <br />period. However, both lines and tanks are also required to be tested for small <br />leaks on either a monthly or an annual basis as required in case 2 above. <br />Keep in mind that all equipment manufactured for use in the U.S. must provide <br />detection as outlined in the following system options. <br />Control li I.. <br />
