Patent ID: 8063309

Claim:
A leak detection cable comprising: a first detector conductor comprising: a first detector wire; a first conductive covering surrounding said first detector wire that comprises a preselected conductive plastic; a first feedback conductor disposed adjacent to said first detector wire that defines a plane with said first detector conductor comprising: a first feedback wire; a first insulating covering surrounding said first feedback wire that comprises a preselected non-conductive plastic; a second feedback conductor disposed in said plane adjacent to said first feedback conductor comprising: a second feedback wire; a second insulating covering surrounding said second feedback wire that comprises said preselected non-conductive plastic; a second detector conductor disposed in said plane adjacent to said second feedback conductor comprising: a second detector wire; a second conductive covering surrounding said second detector wire that comprises said preselected conductive plastic; a jacket that surrounds said first feedback conductor and said second feedback conductor and partially surrounds said first detector conductor and said second detector conductor by an amount that is sufficient to hold said first detector conductor and said second detector conductor and provides openings adjacent to said first conductive covering and said second conductive covering to allow exposure to aqueous fluids, said jacket made from a plastic jacket material that is dissimilar to, and has low adhesion with, said preselected conductive plastic and said preselected non-conductive plastic so that said jacket can be easily removed from said first detector conductor, said second detector conductor, said first feedback conductor and said second feedback conductor.
