Burst Alert® Sensor

Burst Alert® Sensor

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of Burst Alert® Sensors, designed for immediate notification of pressure relief events. These sensors are used with rupture disks and other devices to detect burst and leakage conditions.
Specifications: The sensors are made with materials such as polyimide film and tantalum conductor wire. They feature dual path conductors and Reconnect Stops™ to prevent reconnection after a pressure event. Armored versions are available for increased durability.
Sensor Types and Applications: Various sensor types are listed, including BAS+, ABAS+, KBA, LDAS, and DAS, each compatible with specific rupture disk types. The document specifies which sensors are suitable for different disk sizes and pressure conditions.
Burst Pressure Tables: Several tables provide minimum coincident pressures for different sensor series, indicating the pressure at which sensors activate to detect leakage or pressure relief.
Optional Features: Sensors can be equipped with optional features such as armored designs, weatherproof connectors, and customer-specified cable lengths. Atex compliance is noted for certain sensor types.
Operational Information: Burst Alert Sensors operate in a normally closed electrical circuit and change to open upon a pressure event. They are suitable for a wide temperature range and are compatible with intrinsically safe systems.
Materials and Safety: The sensors use compressed fiber gaskets and polymer membranes for electrical insulation. They are designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures, with specific materials chosen for corrosion resistance.
Tagging and Packaging: Each sensor is tagged with type, size, and part number for traceability. They are available in various sizes, with larger sizes upon request.

Burst Alert® Sensor-4

Operation / Electrical Information Burst Alert Sensors operate in a “normally closed” electrical circuit with a polymer membrane supporting its electrical conducting circuit. When the pressure event (disk rupture / valve opening) occurs, the flow (gas or liquid) breaks the tantalum electrical conductor located on the polymer membrane. The electrical status of the sensor changes to “normally open.” The recommended maximum operating limits for Burst Alert Sensors is a current of 500mA, maximum voltage 24 VDC; satisfactory operation can be obtained at a few milliamperes current. Gaskets: Compressed...
