Rupture disc manufacturer Elfab has been awarded IECEx approval for its burst detection system, Flo-Tel+, which certifies it for use internationally in the most hazardous environments.

The device has many advantages, from triggering alarms to shutting down a process, it can be either hardwired or used in conjunction with Elfab’s fail-safe wireless detection system, Radio-Tel.
Modern industrial automation has increased the need for electrical equipment in hazardous areas, where flammable liquids, vapours, gases or combustible dusts could present a fire or explosion hazard. The use of equipment, especially electrical, in these areas is highly regulated. IECEx approval ensures that equipment and systems are manufactured and operated according to the highest international safety standards.
At a time when stringent safety standards are of utmost importance, Flo-Tel+ has advantages, from triggering alarms to shutting down a process.
