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.
