Oil leak sensors

The Floodline Oil Leak Detection Sensor can be used as part of a larger Floodline installation or as a stand-alone dedicated oil leak detection system.

The design is a compact and robust unit suitable for vertical or horizontal mounting. The alarm is activated when oil or any conductive liquid comes into contact with the probes. 

Supplied with a stainless steel Floodline Guard Plate to provide heavy-duty physical protection and for fixing and easy adjustment.

The Floodline Oil Leak Detection Sensor can connect in any number and combination with other Floodline sensors and Floodline control panels. Suited to applications such a internal oil tanks, plant rooms, pump sets, back-up generators and any area where there is a potential risk of oil leakage.

The Floodline Oil Leak Detection Sensor  is a multiple re-use product and can be instantly returned to use after a leak is cleared. Constructed with a high density plastic body, stainless steel and nickel-plated brass probes and housed in Floodline stainless steel Guard Plate with an encapsulation option for immersion proofing.

Floodline Ranger Hydrocarbon Distance Measuring Leak Detection Cable detects the presence of liquid hydrocarbon fuels over a range of both longer Long Line, and shorter distances at any point along its length and does does not react to the presence of water. Installed with a Floodline Ranger Leak Detection Module, the cable senses a hydrocarbon liquid leak, triggers an alarm and pinpoints the location of the leak within a metre.

Floodline Ranger Hydrocarbon Distance Measuring Leak Detection Cable provides distributed leak detection and location for a wide range of applications. The cable is available in a variety of lengths to provide as much coverage as required up to 1500 metres.

The modular sensing cables may be connected in series to provide distributed Long Line monitoring for applications such as trenches, sub-floors, double-containment pipework or used individually for double-containment tanks, sumps and shorter lengths and smaller areas.

Floodline Ranger Hydrocarbon Distance Measuring Leak Detection Cable uses radiation-crosslinking and conductive-polymer technology to make the sensing cable mechanically strong and chemically resistant. The core of the cable is constructed of two sensing wires, an alarm signal wire and a continuity wire. The core is encased in a conductive-polymer jacket and surrounded with a fluoropolymer braid. This rugged construction allows the cable to perform reliably in the most demanding environments.

The cable must be replaced after exposure to hydrocarbon liquids.

The cable is resistant to chemical exposure in accordance with ASTM D 543 at +23°C (+73°F) for seven days including sulphuric acid (10%), hydrochloric acid (10%), nitric acid (10%) and sodium hydroxide (10%).

The cable is resitant to water less than 10μA leakage when immersed in salt water for 90 days.

Floodline Ranger Hydrocarbon Distance Measuring Leak Detection Cable is approved for installation in hazardous areas when used in conjunction with Floodline Ranger Leak Detection Module and Zener safety barriers when appropriate.

The Floodline Pipe-in-Pipe Oil Sensor is designed for conductive liquid leak detection in double containment cavities in pipes and tanks. The principle is the same as a point sensor but with a modified design for fitting into sockets provided at strategic points along an outer pipe or outer tank.

Short stainless steel probes extend into the cavity. A sensor alarm is activated when oil or conductive liquid contacts the stainless steel probes. 

The Floodline Pipe-in-Pipe Oil Sensor is a multiple re-use product with instant return to use after wiping clean following a leak detection.

The body is constructed from high-density plastic with fully encapsulated stainless steel probes.
