2.1 Intended use
The Europress leak detector for pressurised systems is a class 1
leak detector according to EN 13160-1.
The Europress leak detector may only be used to detect leaks in the
tanks listed below which are not pressurised (i.e. operated under at-
mospheric conditions) and which are used for aboveground or un-
derground storage of the liquids described below.
Tanks
•
Double-walled steel or plastic tanks with approval of use of the
German Institute for Building Technology (Deutschen Institut für
Bautechnik) and which are suitable for water-polluting liquids.
The interstitial spaces of the tanks must be resistant to the liquid and
its vapours and must not contain leak detection fluid.
A leak detector may be connected to
a single aboveground tank or
to several underground tanks with a total interstitial space volume of
4 m³.
Liquids
•
Steel tanks: Water-polluting liquids
•
Plastic tanks: Water-polluting liquids with a flash point of more
than 55 °C
•
AdBlue® (urea solution 32.5 %) according to DIN 70070
The leak detector must be resistant to the liquid and its vapours. The
materials used are: PVC, silicone, ABS, NBR, PA6, EPP, EPDM.
The permissible density of the liquid depends on the tank height / the
tank diameter.
