| Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
| BSI | 2016 | 78 |
This European Standard gives requirements and corresponding testassessment methods applicable to leak detection kits, based on volumetric loss from within the tank and/or pipework system. The kits usually comprise:
-
Measuring Device
-
Evaluation Device
-
Alarm Device
Intended use:
Leak Detection kits are intended to be used inwith single or double skin underground tanks or single or double skin underground and/or aboveground pipework designed for flammable liquids having a flash point not exceeding 100 °C.
