TTK patented hydrocarbon detection is via a sensing element which is a coaxially extruded silicone jacket element containing Carbon Black. The black wire swells by quickly absorbing liquid hydrocarbon (lubrication oil or petroleum products). The outer layer of the black sensor wire is a watertight electrical insulator, permeable for liquid hydrocarbon only.

As the conductor swells, an integral microprocessor monitors for resistance. Once that resistance threshold is achieved, a leak response will be transmitted to the controller.

How Does TTK Hydrocarbon Leak Detection System Work?

TTK Addressable diesel oil sensing cable: FG-OD

TTK, the world’s leading manufacturer of Liquid Leak Detection Systems for over 30 years, provides reliable and fast response oil and water leak detection solutions to mission critical areas, such as power generating facilities, nuclear plants, tank farms, oil, and gas industry, and well as commercial buildings. TTK oil leak detection systems are based on addressable sensing cables/point sensors and leak monitoring panels.
