Preface <br /> This report contains the testing, data, and results of an independent performance <br /> evaluation of the Vaporless LD 3000 and LD 3000S mechanical line leak detectors on <br /> large piping, both rigid and flexible, and a combination of the two. This report is an <br /> addendum to the August 20, 1993 evaluation of the Vaporless LD 3000 and LD3000S <br /> which was conducted on large rigid lines. <br /> The purpose of the current testing was to demonstrate that the LD 3000 and LD3000S <br /> detectors meet performance guidelines when used on large rigid and flexible piping having <br /> volumes larger than previously tested. Testing for this evaluation was performed in <br /> accordance with the Federal EPA's "Standard Test Procedures for Evaluating Leak <br /> Detection Methods: Pipeline Leak Detection Systems," EPA/53O/UST-90/01 0, September <br /> 1990,with the exception of the number of tests performed. <br /> The work was conducted at the Fuels Management Research Center, Grain Valley, <br /> Missouri, operated by Ken Wilcox Associates, Inc. The laboratory testing was conducted <br /> by Craig Wilcox and this report was prepared by Wayne Hill in association with KWA. <br /> Questions regarding this evaluation should be directed to Mr. Greg Young, Vaporless <br /> Manufacturing, Inc. (800) 367-0185. <br /> KEN WILCOX ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> Reviewed and Approved: <br /> Wayne E. Hill H.
