The water sensor Tape is constructed from textured stockinet-knitted polyester, integrating parallel uninsulated wires of soft annealed copper. The wires, each with a diameter of 0.66 mm and a resistance of approximately 4.7 ohms per 100 meters, are woven into polyester fabric. Since polyester is a good conductor of electricity, its conductivity changes when it detects the presence of water. The tape is typically available in standard lengths of 25 and 50 meters, but custom lengths can be provided upon request.
The tape water detector functions by detecting changes in conductivity when moisture or water comes into contact with the tape. The uninsulated copper wires within the polyester fabric register the presence of water, which then triggers a connected control panel. This change in conductivity between the copper wires is considered a leak. Hence, it gets shorted and sends a signal to the detector to alert of a potential leak.
Install the tape sensor by unrolling it to the desired length and laying it flat in areas prone to leaks. Secure the tape water sensor alarm using adhesive or clamping tools. Connect the tape's copper wires to the terminals of the water detection panel. Test the system by putting a small amount of water on the sensor and check if the panel initiates an alarm or not.
Our Tape detectors are great tools that are made to find water leaks quickly in pipes or tanks using the latest tape material which is very sensitive to the presence of water. Be it for business, office, or home use, these tape water detector alarms are multi-use tools that meet different types of needs related to leak detection. The sensors' small and powerful looks ensure good performance over different environments, making them a good choice for different types of industries and settings.
They are easy to install and need less maintenance which adds to their practical use, letting people use a good leak detection system having minimum trouble. Tape water leakage sensors are not only accurate but also people-friendly to use, which gives a simple straight solution to stop water damage and ensure good strength of the system.
