Leak detector for flammable chemical cabinet

Leak detector for flammable chemical cabinet

Leak detector for flammable chemical cabinet

(OP)
I need to install a leak detector in the bottom of a flammable chemical cabinet. The sensor needs to detect a spill immediately (float style detectors take too long to activate)and provide for alarms/shutoff valve control.  Explosion proof would be nice.  Cheap would be too!  Any recommendations?

RE: Leak detector for flammable chemical cabinet

What exactly do you want to detect ? leaking bottle or
imperfect seal of cabinet door, etc.?

RE: Leak detector for flammable chemical cabinet

(OP)
The cabinet is used to repack  chemicals from bulk storage tanks(IPA, Acetone, etc) into 55 gallon drums or  1 gallon bottles. I am using a scale to detect the weight of the drum as its being filled and I want the nitrogen actuated fill valves to close if for some reason the drum or bottle is overfilled.
