THE OBTECT
WHY
THE OBTECT
DEVELOPED
Many hazardous chemicals are used in semiconductor and display manufacturing processes, and countless pipelines are used to supply chemicals to various manufacturing equipment.
The inside of these pipes can be corroded by harmful chemicals, and the most vulnerable place is the "pipe connection part" that changes the
direction or lengthens the pipe.
To this connection, an O-ring made of chemical-resistant rubber is applied to minimize the gap in the joint, and this O-ring is the first to be gradually damaged, leading to a leak accident. Although these leaks are not frequent, they do occur unexpectedly, and there is a problem that can lead to not only huge property damage due to the interruption of the manufacturing process, but also human accidents. Therefore, to prevent this, a system that can detect minute leaks of hazardous chemicals in advance and notify the manager is required.
MICROVIBRATING
MICROSEISM
vibration, pulsation,corrosion, and hardening
-
Toxic gases and chemicals gradually corrode the sealing of the pipe connection part and the O-ring inside the clamp, weakening the durability in the hardened state, and leaking after cracks occur.
-
Leakage of poisonous flammable gas and chemicals occurs after micro-distortion of the pipe joint due to vibration and pulsation inside the pipe
-

EXISTING
USING CLAMP
To solve this problem,
a clamp is installed on the pipe connection part.
The clamp prevents loosing of pipe joint,
avoiding gas and chemical leaks
However, poisonous and flammable
gas/chemical cannot even seal
the pipe joint and block the O-ring
inside the clamp.
The fine gap between the clamp and O-ring
causes gas/chemical leaks due to vibration,
pulsation, and chemical reaction.
-
Before Gas/Chemical leaks
-
After Gas/Chemical leaks
Most of the clamp products are certified by various organizations and distributed on the market, but the certification standards are not keeping up with the pace of development of the high-tech industry.
LIMITS OF
CLAMP IN MARKET.
we need the right product
-
Endurance limit
The sealing of the pipe joint and even the internal O-ring cannot be blocked
-
Actions after damage
Gas/chemical leak signal must occur over a certain range
-
Difficulty removing leaks
As harmful gas/chemicals has already spread around the pipe joint, It is difficult to remove
-
Arbitrary release problem
There is a risk of accidents because the device can be released arbitrarily

SENSING PROCESS.
The OBTECT controls the leak situation with the
control equipment as follows.
Through this, unlike in the past, it is possible to
clearly identify and control the leak situation.
