Wireless burst detection system
Published: 21 October, 2016
ELFAB, a leading rupture disc manufacturer has revealed how a local chemical company has achieved significant cost savings and improved site safety by moving its rupture disc monitoring wireless
Elfab says it is the first rupture disc manufacturer to offer a WirelessHART burst detection system significantly enhancing its product range and says since the launch of the wireless burst detection system, it has changed the way in which its customers consider rupture disc monitoring.
Traditional burst detection solutions can involve large investment combined with ongoing maintenance cost. In upgrading rupture disc monitoring to wireless, customers can expect to eliminate 50% of the cost and 90% of the time required to install. Thomas Swan based in Consett is a major independent manufacturer of performance and speciality chemicals and says it has recently benefited from incorporating this wireless solution for all Elfab rupture disc devices. The company’s maintenance manager, John Smithson said, “Being able to integrate rupture disc monitoring into our existing wireless network has offered significant benefits to our plant. The setup and installation process was seamless and I have been impressed by all aspects of the product and its ongoing reliability – the design and the wireless technology offered by Elfab is excellent”.

Rupture discs and holders are commonly used in combination with pressure relief valves (PRVs). Even though rupture discs can be used on their own, the benefits of using both are said to be making this solution a popular choice in the process industries. ELFAB says not only can this combination extend valve life, it can also improve maintenance schedules and support with emission control, while helping to reduce long-terms costs.
FLUKE PROCESS INSTRUMENTS has announced it has launched the Thermalert 4.0 spot pyrometer series for automatic noncontact temperature monitoring between -40 °C and 2,250 °C. The series currently comprises 13 models with varied spectral responses, including dedicated sensors for metals, glass, and plastics products.
Global sensor manufacturer SICK reports it has combined its technology-leading expertise in laser scanning and machinery safety to develop a next-level outdoor collision and detection warning system which achieves up to 80m-wide, 270 o field of view with high levels of reliability.
