Elfab Flo-Tel XD burst detection system

Elfab’s Flo-Tel XD burst detection system is fully Exd approved, negating the need for intrinsically safe barriers and interfacing directly with the user’s remote terminal unit, all of which reduces installation costs.

Flo-Tel XD is a one-time only installation unit. The system has no moving parts and is therefore is said to be highly reliable. Its method of operation is specifically designed to be fail safe. Any periodic maintenance checks required by the user can be carried out by a non-electrically qualified fitter using the Flo-Tel installation tool.

The sensor fits into a pre-machined pocket in the rupture disc holder while a magnet is attached to all Elfab rupture disc products as standard. 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, saving on both costs and downtime.
