SCALD Results

Pass – A passing result ensures the integrity of the tank is good.
Fail – Test failure will be indicated by a Warning light and/or annunciator. Additionally, a report may print (if the console is 

programmed to do so, see the T5 Programming Guide - p/n 000-2142)
Abort – The result is due to variations in float level and/or product temperature that are outside the leak test threshold. 

This may be caused by:

Dispensing

• 

Rapid Temperature Change

• 

Delivery

• 

Product Lower than the lowest RTD 

• 

(Resistance Temperature Detector)

Theft

• 

Pump Started

• 

Loss of Probe Signal

• 

Incomplete – When the test does not collect enough data before the programmed time limit, the test is Incomplete. When 

it is necessary to obtain valid results for compliance reasons, start the test manually. 

Reasons Why SCALD May Not Complete

 • No Quiet Time

◦ SCALD needs four 20 minute QIs in order to complete a test. These QIs are normally found in the early morning 

hours. If the site is so busy that there are no 20 minute periods of no dispensing, then SCALD will not be able to com-

plete a test.

 • Temperature Instability

◦ If a site is receiving deliveries frequently and the temperature of the fuel being delivered is several degrees hotter/

colder then the fuel in the tank, SCALD will not be able to collect data due to thermal instability interrupting quiet time. 

The temperature of the fuel cannot change more than .01° F during a 20 minute QI.

◦ If a pump control relay is stuck closed and the pump is running all of the time, the temperature in the tank may be 

much higher than in the other tanks. Due to this high temperature and the fact that the pump is running, no QIs will 

be collected.

Note: On rare occasions conditions can arise that prevent SCALD from getting enough QIs to complete a test.
