Description

Monitoring Devices

The annular space between plies can be monitored for leakage to detect a ply failure. This will serve as a warning of an imminent problem. A pressure device in the outer ply alerts about the inner ply failure. The 2-ply testable bellows also allows inspectors to pressure test the inner and outer ply during shutdowns. There are several types of devices used for monitoring the 2 ply testable bellows from simple pressure gauges to electronic devices and can be categorized as Active and Passive Monitors.

Passive monitor

When the inner ply fails, the monitor is activated by the pressure between the plies.

Active monitor

The active monitor can detect inner and outer ply failures.

A vacuum is created between the inner and outer ply before installing the monitoring device. If the inner ply fails, the pressure between the plies will activate the monitoring device and if the outer ply fails the vacuum will be lost and the monitoring device will be activated.

Main Benefits

  • Advanced warning leak detection.
  • System can be in operation while a suitable repair or replacement can be arranged.
  • Two ply allow for 100% redundancy.
  • Reduces downtime in services where bellows failure could cause an outage (FCCU, etc.).
