Monitoring liquid-based hazards

It is important to take steps to ensure that the liquids at industrial facilities remain where they are supposed to be. Passive protection is a great option but is not always practical. FM Approvals has expanded the range of liquid leak detectors complying to Approval Standard FM 7745, Liquid Leak Detectors to include hydrocarbon leak detectors (monitoring escaped liquids such as gasoline, diesel, hydraulic fluid and heating oil), water usage monitors (systems that learn water usage patterns and monitor for abnormal usage), in-line flow monitors (initiate the closing of shut-off valves or other actions when abnormal water usage patterns are identified), and linear/area sensors for hydrocarbon and water applications.

Incorporating these products into a facility’s protection plans creates an opportunity to recognise leaks in a protected area earlier so that staff can minimise the effect of the leaks on both property and operations.

FM Approvals certifies products and services with a unique focus on objectively testing properly loss prevention products and services and certifying those that meet rigorous loss prevention standards. The FM APPROVED mark is recognised and respected worldwide. Backed by scientific research and testing, FM Approvals’ certification process instills confidence and commands respect in your production process.
