Mechanical Line Leak Detector for STP, 3.8 L/h Detection

Description

Overview

A mechanical line leak detector watches the pressurised line from a submersible turbine pump (STP) and cuts the flow if the line is leaking. This unit detects a leak of 3.8 L/h, about one gallon an hour, at 10 psi. If it finds one it restricts flow to below 11.4 L/h, which is slow enough that the attendant notices and the site can act before the loss grows. It needs no power or electronics. The detector activates 2 to 3 seconds after the nozzle is lifted, so expect a short delay at the start of a fuelling when the line is being tested.

Key features

• Detects a 3.8 L/h leak at 10 psi
• Restricted flow below 11.4 L/h when a leak is found
• Activation 2 to 3 seconds after nozzle lift
• Handles petrol, diesel, biodiesel and paraffin
• Mechanical operation with no wiring

Where it works

Forecourts in Gauteng, KZN and the Western Cape use leak detectors on every STP pressure line, and so do depot owners running underground tanks for farm, mining or transport fleets in Limpopo and Mpumalanga. It is a replacement or upgrade part for sites with older pumps. Tell us your pump model and we will confirm the fit before you order. For the connection side of an offloading point, see the bottom loading API 4 inch male coupler with handle and the version with sight glass and bronze ring. Browse more in fuel station accessories.
