Supports smoke detection
November 1st 2005 Durapipe UK has introduced Detecta-line, a pipework system specifically developed for use with aspirating smoke detection systems.
It can be installed in environments ranging from hospitals, refrigerated stores, manufacturing and warehouses through to stadiums, hotels or commercial office buildings.
Detecta-Line is made from a robust and ductile ABS material to provide a pipework system that can offer efficient and reliable conveyance of air samples from protected zones.
Durapipe explains that aspirating smoke detection systems can detect smoke at vastly lower densities than ordinary smoke detection systems and operate by actively and continuously sampling air.
However, satisfactory operation of these systems is highly reliant on the capabilities of the associated pipework and Detecta-line's product specification is said to guarantee high performance levels throughout its lifetime.
The system is solvent welded and sampling holes can be drilled into the pipework to allow active air sampling throughout the system.
The handling speed of the system allows contractors to easily install the pipework into new or existing aspirating smoke detection system, ensuring labour time and costs are kept to a minimum.
The system comprises pipe in 3m length as standard, and fittings that include couplings, tees, 90° bends, 45° elbows, socket unions, end caps and cobra pipe clips. More articles from Durapipe UK: |
