A failure of the sanitary system, sewage system, a leak in a hot or cold water pipe or central heating system can completely destroy industrial facilities, server rooms or other business-critical facilities. That is why the nVent RAYCHEM TraceTek water leak detection system, which is based on sensor wires, is increasingly being used in such places. How do sensor wires work and why are they so effective in detecting water leaks?

TraceTek TT5000 is a fuel detection sensor cable that can detect and locate leaks of gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel, petroleum and similar hydrocarbon liquids. It will not detect or respond to water.

Water leak detection systems are becoming increasingly popular, as they noticeably minimize the damage and costs caused by the failure of sanitary or air conditioning systems. It is worth noting that in such systems there is a twofold way of detecting such leaks - through sensor wires, as well as using point sensors.

A potential fuel spill is not only a potential source of loss for the company, but more importantly a serious threat to the environment. A large stain of flammable gasoline can also be dangerous for employees. To avoid such a potential problem, it is worthwhile to protect all tanks, pipelines and other important points (such as valves) with a leak detection system.

Leaking chemicals pose a major threat to the environment, people, as well as buildings and equipment in the vicinity. For this reason, it is important to quickly alert to the occurrence of leaks.
