Training for Technicians and Regulators (Return to LS-2003 Home)


The LS-2003 Leak Detector Tester is a precision instrument that is capable of accurately generating leaks of 3.0 gal/h, 0.2 gal/h and 0.1 gal/h. To achieve the best possible results from the LS-2003, it is mandatory that this equipment be calibrated and used properly.
 
To assure that the best possible results are obtained from the LS-2003, KWA strongly recommends that users be properly trained. This training can be obtained either at the KWA Laboratory in Grain Valley, Missouri (near Kansas City) or at the users site.
 
Training at the KWA laboratory includes actual use of the equipment on several of the more popular leak detectors. These leak detectors are installed on the KWA test pipeline and are fully functional as they would be at a service station site. Users will be able to see exactly what to expect when the LS-2003 is used in the field. The sequence of events that occurs during a test is often complex with the turbine pumps turning on and off periodically as the test is conducted. Complete notes describing these events will be provided at the course.
 
In addition to hands-on use of the LS 2003, a session on maintenance of the equipment will also be provided. This will include replacement of o-rings and cleaning of the flow tubes.
 
Training can also be conducted at the user site. If this option is selected, it is highly recommended that one or more lines with different leak detectors be available for the training. If not, video examples can be provided for the students.
 
There is a nominal charge for the training. A certification card with the testers name, serial number and picture will be provided after successful completion of the training.
