Andel's Flexi-Pad Sensor is ideal for leak detection applications that include narrow voids too small for point sensors, drip trays underneath equipment and secured around pipework joints and valves where leaks may be more likely to occur. The Flexi-Pad Leak Detection Sensor can be used singly, or in groups with a number of sensors being connected together to form one zone.
The Flexi-Pad sensors have a removable fabric cover which protects the applied surfaces and helps to absorb some liquid. In the event of a leak being detected the fabric cover can be removed and dried, ready for reuse or replaced with a spare cover to allow leak monitoring to resume as soon as possible. The sensors can be dried and reused any number of times providing the sensor element or fabric cover is not contaminated with a liquid or substance that permanently changes its electrical characteristics.
T&D can offer a custom design service. The Flexi-Pad Sensor's size, shape and base material can be tailored to the client's individual requirements, contact us for further information.
