PF Detect

Flexible, dual contained chemical dosing hose with built-in leak detection

PF Detect was originally developed for the chemical dosing market to further reduce the environmental risk of chemical leakage. It offers all the features and benefits of Protectaflex but has the added capability of built-in leak detection, meaning that the moment there is a problem, an alarm sounds, sending a signal to switch off the dosing pump and allowing you to get your reserve line working within seconds. It requires only a minimal amount of liquid to trigger the alarm and shut-off procedure, with the leaked liquid contained by the versatile polyurethane jacket.

PF Detect consists of a durable PU outer jacket (which is UV stable and offers excellent clarity for visual inspection) and an inner hose in a choice of materials (reinforced PVC, LDPE, PTFE and TPV).

With attractive per metre costs and the potential to forego the expense of catchpots, PF Detect allows you to save money and add value, without cutting corners.

Features and Benefits

• Hoses can be wired direct into the rig or SCADA for instant shut-off and alarm.
• Immediate visual and audible alarm once system is triggered by either chemical leak or system cable failure (when used in conjunction with alarm box).
• Alarms not reliant on chemicals having to reach detection points or catch-pots.
• Due to minimal leak potential, PF Detect can eliminate the need for mid-point catch-pots.
• Reduced risk of environmental exposure as chemical escape is minimised and contained.
• With no excess of chemical to clear up in outer containment hoses, clean-ups and replacement of hoses are quicker and safer.
• Lightweight and reduced size, hence lower carriage and packaging costs.
• Works with cost effective and readily available fitting.
• Choice of inner tubes.
• Each hose can be supplied, circuit tested and certified prior to dispatch with point of application end assembled.
• Supplied with simple-to-use inlet end assembly kit containing shrink connectors and connecting   cable and an outlet kit containing shrink connectors and resistor pack.
• Available with optional alarm box—one alarm box will take up to six hoses.
