Enhanced IP

Rupture disc manufacturer Elfab has been awarded an Ingress Protection (IP) rating of 66 for its ATEXapproved burst detection system, Flo- Tel+. The company believes Flo-Tel+ to be the only non-invasive, fail-safe detection system on the market.

Offering a wide range of benefits to customers in safety-critical environments, it can be either hardwired or used in conjunction with Elfab's ATEX-approved wireless detection system, Radio-Tel.

An IP66 rating makes Flo-Tel+ suitable for use in highly dusty environments and areas where shortterm flooding may occur.

Applications can now include FPSO units within the oil and gas industry.

At a time when zero emissions and quality standards are becoming increasingly important, Flo-Tel+ offers such features as triggering alarms to shutting down a process, says the company.
