Rupture disc detection system

22 November 2013

Rupture disc manufacturer,Elfab, has introduced an Ex d-approved burst detection system, FloTel XD.


Flo-Tel is now fully Ex d-approved, negating the need for intrinsically safe barriers and interfacing directly with the customer’s remote terminal unit, all of which reduces installation costs.

 

Flo-Tel XD is a one-time-only installation unit. It has no moving parts and is therefore very reliable. Any periodic maintenance checks specified by customers can be carried out by a non-electrically-qualified fitter using the Test-Tel installation tool.

 

The Flo-Tel sensor fits into the rupture disc holder while a magnet is attached to all Elfab rupture disc products. When the disc bursts, the magnet arcs away from the sensor and produces an open circuit signal. After functioning, only the disc needs to be replaced.
