Gas handling burst detection

Leading manufacturer of rupture
discs, Elfab, has developed a burst
detection system for the gas
transportation industry. OE-Tel
allows most customers with screw-fit
rupture disc devices to benefit from
fitting a simple, fail-safe burst
detection system.

Derived from the company’s
ATEX-approved Flo-Tel+ burst
detection system launched in 2003,
OE-Tel allows customers to identify
when a disc has functioned. The unit
offers all the benefits of Elfab’s
magnetic burst detection systems and
is available with the company’s screwfit
type of custom-engineered devices.

These products are typically supplied
in bonded brass, or electron beam
units for more critical applications.

Unlike traditional membrane-type
detectors, OE-Tel is fail-safe and
non-invasive. The detection system
is fitted to the vent side of the
rupture disc and only operates when
a disc has functioned, eliminating
false alarms. The unit is currently
undergoing ATEX approval.
