Hermetic Tape

A Hermetic UTI (Ullage Temperature Interface) Tape, a precision device commonly used in the marine and oil industries for cargo tank gauging.


📖 Overview:

A Hermetic UTI Tape is a multifunctional portable measuring tool used for:

  • Ullage measurement (the distance from the surface of the liquid cargo to the tank top)

  • Temperature measurement of the cargo

  • Interface detection (detecting the interface between two immiscible liquids, like oil and water)

This unit is crucial for accurate cargo monitoring and custody transfer operations on tankers.


📌 Features Visible Here:

  • Digital temperature readout (showing 28.8°C in this image)

  • Control switch for selecting temperature or off

  • Speaker/Alarm — for detecting when the probe hits liquid or an interface

  • Hermetically sealed casing for gas-tight operation, especially important in hazardous, flammable, or toxic atmospheres


⚙️ Application:

  • Used during cargo operations on oil, chemical, and gas tankers.

  • Provides vital data for cargo calculations, safety compliance, and custody transfer.
