Burst Detection System For OEM Market

Elfab, the leading European manufacturer of rupture discs, has further developed its product range to allow OEM customers to benefit from its fail-safe, ATEX-approved burst detection system, Flo-Tel™+.

Since the launch of Flo-Tel™+ in 2003, Elfab has sold thousands of units of the integral detection system to a wide range of industries worldwide. OE-Tel, the latest addition to the Flo-Tel™+ range, allows customers in OEM markets to identify when a disc has functioned within one of their applications.

OE-Tel offers all the benefits of Elfab’s original magnetic burst detection system and is suitable for a number of the company’s custom-engineered devices, including those that are electron beam welded by Elfab’s unique in-house capability. Unlike traditional membrane-type detectors, OE-Tel is fail-safe. The non-invasive detection system is installed on the vent side of rupture discs and only operates when a disc has functioned, thereby eliminating false alarms. 

OE-Tel will benefit a range of OEM customers, particularly those with applications in the aerospace, defence and medical industries. Fitted to the wall of the component, OE-Tel is available for discs with a nominal bore of between 25 mm and 100 mm.

Elfab Limited, a subsidiary of Halma p.l.c., is a leading manufacturer of rupture discs, explosion vents and associated detection systems. The company's intelligent pressure relief systems protect people, plant, processes and the environment across the globe.
