PEI/RP1200-12 records or the ATG readout. Prepare a monitoring fluid solution to add to the interstitial space. 4.3.6 Steel Tanks. Liquid -filled (hydrostatic) tests on steel tanks require the same fluid as the monitoring fluid. Contact the manufacturer for instructions. 4.3.7 Fiberglass Tanks. Determine tank size and diameter and apply the appropriate method. 4.3.8 Test Equipment. Test equipment shall include: • monitoring fluid; • stopwatch or other time -measurement device capable of measuring a 1 -second increment; • tape measure. 4.3.9 Test Procedure. 5.. PIPING SECONDARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY TESTING 5A General. Underground product piping is available with single and double walls. Double -walled piping pro- vides containment for leaks from primary containment and must be leak -free to prevent release of product into the environment. 5.2 Purpose. This method is used to test the integrity of piping interstitial space(s). 5.3 Description of Test. The interstitial space is seated at the ends and is pressurized with an inert gas. The pressure is monitored for 1 hour. If any pressure drop occurs, the secondary containment fails the test. 1. Remove any sensor that may be installed in the 5.4 Test Conditions. The primary pipe may contain tank interstitial space. fuel, and dispensing activities may continue during the test without affecting test results. 2. Determine and record the groundwater level. 5.5 Preparation. If the interstitial space contains prod - 3. Add test liquid to the tank interstitial space uct, ensure that the interstice is open to the atmosphere bringing the fluid level into the riser (stand- and perform a precision test on the primary piping before pipe) to the appropriate level based on the conducting a test on the secondary containment piping. manufacturer's written procedure. 4.

Start the time -measurement device. 6. Wait the appropriate time according to the manufacturer's test procedure. 7. Document the ending level and ending time of the test. S. Determine and record the groundwater level. 9. Remove liquid added to the tank interstitial space, and restore the liquid level in the tank interstitial to normal operating condition. 10. Reinstall the sensor so that it is installed within manufacturer's specifications. 4.3.10 Pass/Fail Criteria. Compare the data to the manufacturer's pass/fail criteria in Appendix A to determine if the tank has passed the test. 0 pei.org Check with the piping manufacturer regarding testing procedures and the proper pressure before testing.
