Containment and Leak Detection

ERM LEAK DETECTION

Thermacor ERM Leak Detection

Electrical Resistance Monitoring (ERM) is a very simple and inexpensive leak detection system that adds peace-of-mind to the owner of a steel or copper pre-insulated piping system.

ERM is simply a copper wire embedded within the foam that is used to create an open circuit between itself and the carrier pipe. If water enters the system, this circuit will close, and a leak can be detected. No additional equipment beyond a standard ohmmeter is needed, although continuous monitoring panels are available.

If a leak does occur, it can be located early, and a technician using a Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) machine can locate the leak, thereby avoiding extensive damages and a costly location process.

CON II

Thermacor CON-II containment piping system

Thermacor CON II Hazardous Fluid Containment System is a pre-engineered, pre-fabricated containment piping system designed to provide maximum safety for transporting hazardous fluids above or below ground.

The CON II system consists of a carrier pipe in a secondary outer pipe to contain and/or drain carrier pipe leaks that might occur, thus avoiding exposure to the environment.

CON II containment piping systems help to maintain compliance with federal, state, or local requirements for containment of fluids that may be hazardous to the environment.
