Double-containment piping uses three leak-detection tools
This company recently launched a new double-containment piping system that features three leak-detection systems — the 918Q Alarm Box, the PAL-AT Continuous Cable System, and the Low Point Leak Detection System. The piping system is designed for wastewater treatment plants and buried applications. In the event of a leak, these detection systems are able to help determine where the leak is located, and translate that information to plant personnel in a timely manner. The 918Q Alarm Box handles up to four sensor signals and features audible and visual alarm indicators. The device emits a 90-dB alarm from four feet away and uses standard lithium bateries (low-battery visual indication is included). The microprocessor-based PAL-AT offers multi-sensing and remote monitoring of up to four separate sensing zones, each with up to 7,500 ft of sensor cable, and is capable of locating multiple leak points, as well as growing leaks. The customizable Low Point Leak Detection System uses 12 discrete inputs that allow the specific location of the leak in the piping to be found.— GF Piping Systems, Irvine, Calif.
