A leakage-sensing device for installation adjacent to a pipeline configured for conveying liquid or gaseous chemical materials. The leakage-sensing device comprises a length of cable configured to transmit and back-reflect signals. The cable is communicable with a signal-measuring device. The entire length of cable is encompassed by a torsioned and tensioned coiled biasing means. The cable and the torsioned and tensioned coiled biasing means are embedded in a chemically frangible casing material. The chemically frangible material is selected for its structural instability when contacted with the selected chemical material to be conveyed within the pipeline thereby releasing the torsioned and tensioned biasing means which subsequently imparts bending and/or twisting and/or elongating and/or contracting forces to the cable thereby causing the cable to physically interfere with and/or deform and/or break the transmission and back-reflection of signals along the cable.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de détection de fuites, destiné à être installé en position adjacente à une canalisation conçue pour transporter des produits chimiques liquides ou gazeux. Le dispositif de détection de fuites comprend une certaine longueur de câble conçue pour transmettre et réfléchir des signaux. Le câble peut être raccordé à un dispositif de mesure de signaux. Toute la longueur du câble est enveloppée d'un moyen de compression en spirale tordu et tendu. Le câble et le moyen de compression en spirale tordu et tendu sont enrobés d'un matériau de gaine décomposable chimiquement. Le matériau décomposable chimiquement est choisi pour son instabilité structurelle lors de sa mise en contact avec le produit chimique particulier destiné à être transporté dans la canalisation, entraînant la libération du moyen de compression en spirale tordu et tendu qui imprime alors au câble des forces de flexion et/ou de torsion et/ou d'allongement et/ou de contraction de telle sorte que celui-ci entrave physiquement et/ou déforme et/ou interrompte la transmission et la réflexion des signaux qui le parcourent.
