2206.9.1 Initial Tank Test

NYC Fire Code 2014 > 22 Motor Fuel-Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages > 2206 Design and Installation Requirements for Liquid Motor Fuel-Dispensing Facilities > 2206.9 Inspection and Testing > 2206.9.1 Initial Tank Test
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Underground and aboveground tanks shall be tested hydrostatically at 15 pounds per square inch (psig)(103.4 kPa), or one and one-half times the maximum anticipated static head pressure, whichever is greater, for the inner tank, and pneumatically or hydrostatically at 5 pounds per square inch (psig)(34.5 kPa) for the annular space (secondary containment tank). When a pneumatic test is allowed, an inert gas shall be used; however, air may be used if the tank or piping system does not contain any liquid motor fuel or combustible vapor. Test pressure shall be maintained for a sufficient time to complete visual inspection, but not less than 1 hour. A tank shall be deemed to have passed the test if it shows no evidence of leakage or permanent deformation.
