FG-ODR Hydrocarbon Sensing Cables

TTK's FG-ODR is a digital sensing cable for detection and location, along the entire length, of liquid hydrocarbons and liquid insoluble in water present on the cable. A microcontroller is embedded in each FG-ODR sensing cable allowing the independent digital transmission to the alarm unit.

• Low Sensitivity
• Suitable for volatile liquids in confined environments
• Suitable for weakly polluted environments
• Leak Location on Section Length
• Re-usable and Pre-connected Cable
• Suitable for Explosive Area Service
• Insensitive to Water and Inorganic Pollutants

FG-ODR Hydrocarbon Sensing Cables Features

• Standard length (9, 22, 39 and 65 ft) sensor sections or long line section allowing optimized system architecture
• A microprocessor embedded in each FG-ODR sensing cable allowing independent digital transmission to the alarm unit
• Standard length sensing cable provided with built-in plug-socket connector
• Long line provided with built-in intermediate embedded connections (for each section), plus connector at extremities on demand
• Structure of the sensing cable comprising a silicon sensing wire, a continuity wire, a communication wire (proprietary bus) and the power supply wires
• Protective external PE braid built on the cable
• Intrinsically safe – can be used in classified areas: Ex ia IIB T4 Ga (IECEx “Zone 0”)

FG-ODR Hydrocarbon Sensing Cables Benefits

• Reliable detection:
  • Sensitive to volatile liquid hydrocarbons
  • Insensitive to water, inorganic pollutants and external loads (pressure)
• Examples of detection time: Gasoline: 20-30 minutes (*), Jet Fuels: 2-4 hours (*), Diesel Oil: 3-6 hours (*)
• Detects and locates hydrocarbon leaks on the section length
• Can be reused, allowing leak detection tests under real conditions
• The same unit FG-NET can be connected to FG-ODR sense cables and mixed with water or acids/bases sense cables at the same time
• Easy to install and remove: standard FG-ODR cables pre-connected with male / female connectors

Note (*): depending on liquid composition and leak conditions
