Portable Rupture Disc Installation Aid gets ATEX approval

Industry first product now suitable for intrinsically safe environments

Aug 5, 2009, Mumbai: Elfab, a leading manufacturer of rupture discs, has been awarded ATEX approval for Test-Tel, its rupture disc installation aid. Test-Tel has been designed to ensure correct disc installation, as well as proper fitting of Flo-Tel+, the industry’s leading ATEX-approved detection system.
 
Test-Tel is a low-cost portable tool that can eliminate the risk of poorly fitted rupture discs or wrongly wired detection. With a range of test options, including disc status check, detection check and battery check, Test-Tel is a pioneering solution in the rupture disc industry.
 
The device was developed by Elfab to meet its customers’ needs and is a welcome product in an industry where safety is the foremost concern. Having now gained ATEX zone 0 and intrinsically safe approvals, the product is safe to be used in even the most explosive of operating conditions.
 
Simple to use, Test-Tel is proving advantageous at the rupture disc installation stage, ensuring a right-first-time approach which saves customers’ time and the cost of refitting. For maintenance managers, it ensures accurate burst control and continuous device function, allowing for foolproof non-invasive checking of alarms.
