New Sensor Discriminates

Between Oil And Water

For Leak Detection

Gems Sensors Division recently announced the latest addition to its line of leak detection sensors for liquid storage tanks, pipes and sumps. The Gems SmartFish Liq- uid Sensor features the unique abil- ity to discriminate between oil and water leaks.

SmartFish sensors have no mov- ing parts. The sensors are equipped with electro-optic and conductive sensing principles together in a single integrated component. The sensors provide three condition out- puts, "no leak", "water leak" and "hydrocarbon leak".

SmartFish sensors are sized easily to fit in the space of double- walled tanks and pipes; they can also be placed loose in tanks or res- ervoirs. The sensors are supplied with 25 feet of PVC jacketed cable and an integral pull-ring for fishing into position within the application.
