FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

Why is TT5001 3 to 5 times faster than TT5000 on light organic solvents?

Volatile solvents like acetone, MEK, THF and toluene evaporate rapidly in open air. TT5001 uses a smaller 6.5 mm diameter profile and a thinner, higher-permeability swelling elastomer wall so small solvent drips permeate and close the internal sensing gap in 30–90 seconds before flashing off.

Can TT5001 be reused after a volatile solvent leak?

Yes. Unlike heavy #2 diesel or crude oil which leaves non-volatile residues, clean volatile solvents (acetone, MEK, toluene, hexane, gasoline) evaporate completely from TT5001 when ventilated, allowing the elastomer to relax and the cable to reset automatically.

What does the '-HUV' suffix in TT5001-HUV signify?

'HUV' stands for High-UV (Ultraviolet) resistance. It replaces the standard braid with a 100 % carbon-black UV-stabilized polymer overbraid and UV-stabilized black connectors so the cable can be strapped onto outdoor sun-exposed pipe racks without solar degradation.

What if our outdoor pipe rack carries concentrated sulfuric, nitric or hydrofluoric acid instead of organic solvents?

For outdoor sun-exposed acids and bases, specify TraceTek TT7000-HUV.
