FG-ODC Hydrocarbon Sensing Cables

TTK Liquid Leak Detection FG-ODC Hydrocarbon Sensing Cables
TTK's FD-ODC is a digital sensing cable for the detection and location of liquid hydrocarbons and liquid insoluble in water and their vapors, along the entire length. A microcontroller is embedded in each FG-ODC sensing cable allowing the independent digital transmission to the alarm unit.
  • High Sensitivity
  • Very Fast Response with Light and Middle Distillates
  • Sensitive to Heavy Oils and Hydrocarbon Vapors
  • Leak Location on Section Length
  • Re-usable and Pre-connected Cable
  • Suitable for Explosive Area Service
  • Insensitive to Water and Inorganic Pollutants

FG-ODC Hydrocarbon Sensing Cables Features

  • Standard length (9, 22 and 39 ft) sensor sections or long line sections allowing optimized system architecture
  • Microcontroller embedded in each FG-ODC sensing cable allowing the independent digital transmission to the alarm unit
  • Standard length sense cable provided with the built-in plug-socket connector
  • Longline provided with built-in intermediate embedded connections (for each section), plus connector at extremities on demand. Structure of the sense 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-ODC Hydrocarbon Sensing Cables Benefits

  • Reliable detection:
    • Sensitive to heavy oils and vapors.
    • Insensitive to water, inorganic pollutants and external loads (pressure)
  • High sensitivity: examples of detection time: gasoline at 1-2 minutes (*), jet fuel at 4-10 minutes (*), diesel at 7-12 minutes (*), WTI: 20-35 minutes (*), Dilbit: 30-45 minutes (*)
  • 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-ODC sense cables and mixed with water or acids/bases sense cables at the same time
  • Easy to install and remove: standard FG-ODC cables pre-connected with male / female connectors

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