The oil leak sensor cables are available in different models based on their sensitivity level and addressability. These oil-sensing wires represent the forefront of hydrocarbon leak detection technology. These oil tapes are engineering worders with high-level engineering design. With the help of these oil detector cables, we can quickly detect any leakages with exact locations.
The oil leak sensing wires are made up of robust material with multi-layer construction. Hence, it is durable, sensitive, and withstand harsh conditions.
The core of these oil sensing cables includes sensing wires, alarm signal wires, and continuity wires, all encased in protective jackets. The FG-OD cable also includes a digital communication wire for independent leak detection and location reporting.
The cores of oil leak wires are encased in conductive-polymer jackets and further protected by fluoropolymer or PE braids. It is called a protective layer. This layer has high mechanical strength and high resistance to water and chemicals.
Sometimes an advanced material is used for the construction of these cables. The use of radiation-crosslinking and conductive-polymer technology or silicon sensing layers in the oil detection cables enhances their durability and sensitivity to hydrocarbon leaks.
The nominal diameters of oil leak cables are 8 to 10 mm ensuring flexibility and ease of installation. These detectors are designed to operate effectively in a wide temperature range from -30°C to +60°C. Oil sensing cables are flexible with minimal bend radii with high mechanical strength. The wire maintains its functionality even when exposed to chemicals such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and sodium hydroxide, and is insensitive to water, preventing false alarms due to water exposure.
Our oil leak cable sensors are made for different kinds of uses by giving uniform leak detection. Available in many lengths, people can set the area to cover as per their needs. It makes sure there is smooth monitoring in different environments.
This oil-sensing tape gives simple setup options. It can be used as a unit for different lengths to give quick changes using connector kits. Also, readymade cables with factory-attached connectors are available to make the setting up method simpler.
Oil leak detection sensing cable can connect with other monitoring systems which helps in collecting more data that people can use to study and make better safety actions.

An ideal oil leak sensor cable ensures safety and reliability in facilities handling hydrocarbons. The accuracy, durability, and reliability of these oil tapes are important factors for commercial settings. Here are ten key features that define an ideal oil leak sensor cable.
Distributed Leak Detection
Detects leaks along the entire length of the cable, providing comprehensive coverage and ensuring no section is left unmonitored.
Reusable After Leak Detection
Can be reused after detecting a leak, reducing maintenance and replacement costs, and enhancing sustainability.
Insensitive to Water & Pollutant
Insensitive to water and inorganic contaminants, preventing false alarms and ensuring only actual hydrocarbon leaks trigger alerts.
Robust Construction
Mechanically strong, with high resistance to physical stress, pressure, and extreme temperatures, ensuring long-term durability.
Digital Addressing & Communication
Features embedded digital addressing for independent leak detection and reporting, enhancing system reliability and accuracy.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
Comes with pre-connected male/female connectors and a modular design to simplify installation and maintenance, reducing setup time.
Explosion Proof Certification
Certified for use in explosive environments, such as ATEX Zone 0, ensuring safety in locations with high risks of explosive gases.
Precise Leak Location
An ideal oil leak sensor cable should be able to pinpoint the leak with accuracy. It is an important feature to minimize damage due to leaks.
Chemical Resistance
Harsh chemicals like acids and bases can damage oil-sensing cables. Hence, it should be able to withstand these chemicals with rollability.
Fast Response Time
Even a minute delay in detecting oil leakages can cause heavy losses. Hence, the oil leak wire sensor should send a signal to the panel with speed.
Without the use of a proper oil leak sensor cable, your critical facilities might face significant challenges. These challenges are in terms of operational efficiency and financial losses. In addition, the absence of a fuel leak cable can lead to delayed responses and hence an increase in maintenance costs. Here are some of the primary challenges encountered without oil leak sensor cables.
Non-Scalable
Without an oil leak sensing wire, it is difficult to expand coverage as facility size increases during future expansions.
Limited Coverage
Point sensors only monitor specific spots, leaving large areas unmonitored. While cable does it along its whole length.
Inconsistent Sensitivity
Probe sensors might not detect all types of hydrocarbons. While fuel cable sensors offer uniform sensitivity of all hydrocarbons.
Inefficient Leak Management
Conventional sensors may miss small leaks or provide inaccurate data, leading to ineffective leak management.
False Alert
Probe sensors can react to water and other non-hazardous liquids, causing unnecessary alarms and interventions.
Delayed Leak Detection
Without continuous monitoring, leaks may go undetected for extended periods, leading to extensive damage.
High Maintenance Costs
Frequent manual inspections are required to identify leaks, increasing operational costs.
Environmental Damage
Undetected oil leakages can lead to significant environmental contamination of water, soil, air, and hence climate.
Safety Hazards
Accumulation of leaked hydrocarbons can create fire and explosion risks. An oil-sensing wire can reduce this risk.
Operational Downtime
Identifying and fixing leaks without precise location information can result in prolonged downtime.
Labor-Intensive
Requires significant human resources for regular checks and maintenance. Also, leak repair with exact leakage location.
Poor Data Integration
Lacks the ability to integrate with digital systems for real-time monitoring and alerting.
