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.
