Atex-approved burst detection
February 1st 2009 Manufacturer of rupture discs, Elfab,
has launched what is believed to be
the first ATEX-approved burst
detection system, Radio-Tel. The new
system combines the latest wireless
technology with Elfab's proven noninvasive
detection system, Flo-Tel+.
Suitable for the largest sites, Radio-
Tel features real-time process
monitoring of disc status and
temperature. Situated in close
proximity to the rupture disc,
Radio-Tel's transmitters plug
easily into the Flo-Tel+. This
eliminates the time-consuming
and expensive wiring work
necessary with other detection
systems.
The transmitters send a
health message to the receiver
every minute. When the transmitter
detects that a disc has operated, the
message changes to an alert signal.
Suitable for use in even the
harshest operating conditions, all
Radio-Tel parts have at least an IP65
rating, with the transmitters being
fully ATEX Zone 0 approved. More articles from Elfab Ltd: |
