<p>In a sealing sleeve 10 with leakage detection device, for sealing a connection between two fluid conveying parts, the sleeve 10 comprises an absorbing layer 11 and a sensor arrangement 12. The absorbing layer 11 is configured to be attached to a surface of an article containing a fluid, for example a hose 6 assembly with a connector 3 comprising a nipple 4 and a socket 5. An end of a hose 6 is slipped on the nipple 4 and the socket 5 is adapted to establish a fluid tight connection of the hose 6 and the nipple 4, and the sealing sleeve 10 is attached at an intersection of the socket 5 and the hose 6. In the case of a leakage, the absorbing layer 11 absorbs the fluid and can expand upon this absorption. The sensor arrangement 12, which can comprise capacitive humidity sensors, detects a level of saturation of the absorbing layer 11 with the fluid, and can transmit a signal if the level of saturation has changed.</p> |
