Mechanical Line Leak Detector

 

The FE Petro MLD product line has unique construction features designed to provide maximum flow rates in busy stations and long service life.  Both are critical issues for profitable station operation.
Design Features
Piston design offers the maximum flow rate possible by keeping flow restriction through the leak detector at a minimum.  Piston has a full 1 5/8" (4.1 cm) of travel to move the leak detection poppet fully out of the flow path when product is being pumped.  Piston cylinder has 5 3/4 cubic inches (94.2 cc) of volume to help minimize nuisance tripping due to thermal contraction.  This also reduces the number of daily line tests during thermal contraction periods and thereby extends the life of the lead detector.
Built-in Precision  
Burnished Brass Cylinder Liner has an 8 to 24 micron finish.  The piston rod is polished stainless steel.  Both are designed to minimize friction by providing an extremely smooth surface to reduce wear of the Teflon seals.  Metering Pin is constructed of 416 stainless steel to minimize wear of the critical 3 GPH leak rate orifice.  
Three MLD Models  
The MLD (blue in color) is designed for use in gasoline and alcohol blends and 100% alcohol applications using ridged pipe or flexible pipe with low modulus of elasticity
The MLD-D (light tan in color) is designed for use in diesel fuel and kerosene applications.
The MLD-E (gray in color) is designed for use with some flexible piping systems with a high modulus of elasticity.
