1.1 Scope
This Standard covers devices intended to monitor pressure-related operating conditions of bladder-type tanks installed in potable and non-potable plumbing systems. These devices are intended to detect abnormal operating conditions associated with loss of air charge, ineffective pressure regulation, or bladder malfunction resulting from repeated thermal expansion and contraction within a plumbing system, and to provide a local or remote alert to the user.
This standard specifies requirements for materials, physical characteristics, performance testing, and markings.
This Standard does not establish design-specific methods of detection or communication and is intended to remain technology-agnostic.
