How to Replace a Damaged Breakaway Valve

Proven lifesavers for gas station owners, breakaway valves are devices used to protect fuel system lines and dispensers from damage due to excessive separation loads (for example, in the case of fueling drive-away incidents). They do that by disconnecting at a predetermined pull-strain load, which for most systems range between 25% and 50% of the hanging hardware’s normal strength, and instantly sealing both ends of the break.

Features improved on the TLS-450PLUS include:

Leak CertificationDigital Pressurized Line Leak Detection (DPLLD)

The line volume expansion of DPLLD for the TLS-450PLUS provides advanced line leak detection to meet the capacity of growing fuel sites, now certified up to 1,178 gallons of capacity. The DPLLD equipment performs a 3.0 gph line leak test following each dispense. With the proper software enhancement feature installed, the DPLLD equipment will also perform 0.2 and/or 0.1 gph line tests to meet your regulatory needs, eliminating the need for separate annual line leak testing.

AccuchartAccuChart™

Our third generation AccuChart™ utilizes enhanced geometric tank chart modeling for the TLS-450PLUS with optional restricted calibration range to perform calibration. Chart volumes are calculated using adjustable geometry parameters: diameter, capacity, end shape, tilt and probe offset. Completed charts are established more quickly and with higher accuracy from a limited amount of data.

Business Inventory ReconciliationBusiness Inventory Reconciliation (BIR)

BIR on the TLS-450PLUS has been enhanced for your custom reconciliation needs and meets federal, state, or local requirements. It includes automated reporting on:

  • Throughput thresholds
  • Delivery thresholds
  • Capacity thresholds
  • Custom thresholds

Terminal Operations: API Coupler Problems and Their Possible Fixes

No equipment at your terminal is subjected to as much use and abuse as an API coupler. In a typical terminal setting couplers are engaged almost 30 to 40 times each day. That’s simply too many head-on collisions with a truck adaptor given we’re just talking about a 24-hour shift. And while modern API couplers are designed keeping heavy usage in mind, it’s only natural that they develop problems over their course of use. These problems must be addressed ASAP to ensure your terminal operations keep running smoothly. Continue reading

NONMETALLIC PIPE IDENTIFICATION GUIDE January 2008

National Group On Leak Detection Evaluations
While we can not definitively say how or when we originally happened upon this, we do know that it came from the National Group On Leak Detection Evaluations and a great guide for general reference in order to identify various types of nonmetallic piping commonly found in UST systems.  They seem to be quite the dedicated independent group of state and federal employees whose full time job is to regulate storage tanks for their agency’s regulatory program.

The NWGLDE website is chock-full of resources including the January 2008 Nonmetallic Pipe Identification Guide.
Nonmetallic PipePlease note: Not all of the nonmetallic pipe systems that are or have been manufactured are included in this guide for several reasons but it sure is handy nonetheless!!

 

Do you have piping or other petroleum handling equipment questions or needs??
