Sensor line for monitoring for and locating leaks and method for its production
A sensor line for monitoring for and locating leaks in an installation, in which chlorine escapes to the area surrounding the installation if there is a leak. The sensor line contains a carrier pipe. The wall of the carrier pipe has openings which are closed by at least one layer which is permeable for chlorine and contains a halogen-containing siloxane rubber.
1. A sensor line for monitoring for and locating leaks in an installation in which chlorine escapes to an area surrounding the installation if there is a leak, the sensor line comprising:
a carrier pipe having a wall with openings formed therein; and
at least one layer being permeable for chlorine and containing a halogen-containing siloxane rubber, said at least one layer closing said openings.
2. The sensor line according to claim 1 , wherein chlorine is provided as the halogen.
3. A method for detecting chlorine, comprising the steps of:
providing a sensor line including:
a carrier pipe having a wall with openings formed therein;
at least one layer being permeable for chlorine and containing a halogen-containing siloxane rubber, said at least one layer closing said openings; and
using the sensor line to detect chlorine.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein chlorine is provided as the halogen.
