MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTION TESTS

20 General

20.1 Each primary a~ secondary contain ment tank, before painting, sha.U be tested by the manufacturer and
proved tight against leakage using the foflo\ving method:
a) s ;ngle Wall Tank

1} Applying internal air pressure and using soapsuds. linseed oil, or equivalent material for
the defection ol leaks. The lesl pressure is to be a gauge pressure of 3 - 5 pSi (20.7 -

34.5 kPa); or
2} Completely filling tho taok wfth watnr and applying an addltior\al gauge pressure of 5 psi
(34.5 kPa} pressute while the tank is plaoed in the posiUon in which it shall be mslafled and

observing for water leakage from tho tank and linings.

b) Secondary Containment Tank
t) After completion of the primary tank, and bcfoto assembling the secondary tank, the
primary tank shall be checked for leakage by applying internal air pressure and using soap

suds, linseed oil or equivalent material for detection of leaks. The test pressure is not to be
less than a gauge pressure o'l 3 psi (20.7 kPa) nor more than 5psi (34.5kPa).
2) Upon completion of the finjshed tank, the primary tank sha)) again be pressurized to a
gauge pressure of 5 psi (34.5 kPa) and held for 1 hour to check for leakage. A continuous
drop in pressure is considered evidenoe of leakage.

3) While main taming a gauge pressure of 5 psi (34.5 kPa) on lhe primary tank, the spaoe
bounded by the primary and soc:ondary tank shall be p1ossurizcd to a gauge pressure of 5 psi
(34.5 kPa). The seoondary tank shall be checked for leakage by applying a soap suds
sorutlon.
20.2 When leaks are noted during the lest, the tank shalt be made tight by wekflng and retested. Delecls in
we~ds shall be repaired by chipping or melting out from one or both sides of the joint, as required, and
rewekiing.
20.3 Each compartment ol comparlmerlt lanks shall be separately tested for leakage.

MARKING
21 General
21.1 Each tank sha!J be legtbly and permanenlly marked with:

a) The name olthe manufacturer or a dis.tincllve matkfng, or code, by which Ills identified as the
produel of a particular manufacture.r.

b) A distinctive catalog number or the equivalent; and

c) The date or other dating period of manufacture not exceedfn g any three consecutive months.

Exception No. t: n1e date ofmanufacture shan not be abbreviated: or in a nadonally accepted conventional
code or in a code allirmed by the manvfaCIUrer when tile code:
a) Repeats in less than 30 years.
b) Raqvires reference to the prodvction records of tile manufacturer to determine when the product
was manufactured.
21.2 When a manufacturer produces tarks at more lhan one factory, cach tank shalt have a diSiindive mrut<ing
to identify it as the produc1 of a particular factory.
21.3 When a tank has a steel striker plate, as covered in 12. 1, under only one opening, the opening sha.U be
matked to indicate that dipstick measurements shall be made onty a1 th-ai location.
21.4 Each tank shatl be marked with thc maximum burial depth.
21 .5 All markings shall be legible an<f permannnt as afforded by a s1ampcd or printed metal nameplate or
label, by a decalcomania lransler, by permanent ink applied by stencil, by a pressure-sensitive label or label
secured with oamen1 of adhesive, or the equivalent. The label or nameplate shall be permanenUy secured lo
1he oute.r surface of the coating. jacket or composite system.
2 1.6 A pressure-sensitive label or a labef secured by cement or adhesive shall comply with the applicable
requirements for "OuldOOf" use labels in the Standard for Mark1ng and Labeling Systems, UL 969.
21.7 Each tank shaUbe marked wl1h the tolldwlng or equivalent:
a) "Follow Installation Instructions
b) "Lifl Tank Only With Uft Alling Provided." (For tanks with Uft tugs).
