Description: The Water Detection Sensor is a high-precision electronic sensing device specially designed for aircraft refueling systems.
It continuously monitors the presence of free water or moisture contamination in aviation turbine fuel (ATF / Jet A-1)during storage, filtration, or refueling operations.
This sensor provides instant detection and warning to ensure that only clean, water-free fuel is delivered to aircraft— maintaining flight safety, fuel integrity, and compliance with aviation fueling standards (EI 1598 / JIG Guidelines)
Detection Type: Capacitive / Conductive (customizable)
Application Area: Aircraft refuelling trucks, fuel hydrant dispensers, filter vessels, fuel storage tanks
Power Supply: 12 V DC / 24 V DC (optional 230 V AC with converter)
Output Type: Relay (NO/NC) / 4–20 mA Analog / RS485 Digital
Response Time: ≤ 1 second
Sensing Accuracy: < 0.01% water-in-fuel detection
Operating Pressure: Up to 10 bar
Operating Temperature: –20 °C to +70 °C
Probe Material: SS316 / Anodized Aluminium
Enclosure Protection: IP67 / Flameproof Ex-d / Intrinsically Safe (optional)
Cable Length: 5 m standard (extendable as per requirement)
Mounting Type: Threaded (BSP/NPT) / Flanged / Inline Sensor Body
Standard Compliance: EI 1598, JIG 1, ATEX, IECEx (optional)
