Modular Measurement and Control

MMC (Modular Measurement and Control) Portable Tank Level Gauge, commonly known as a Ullage Tape Gauge or MMC TAPE.


📌 Purpose:

This device is used primarily on oil tankers and chemical carriers to measure:

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

  • Oil/chemical levels

  • Temperature

  • Water interface level


⚙️ Key Features:

  • Digital or mechanical readout for accurate ullage or innage readings.

  • Vapor-tight construction, suitable for use in hazardous environments (e.g., flammable cargo tanks).

  • Sampling valve or thermowell may be integrated to take samples or measure temperature.

  • Compatible with closed gauging systems, meeting SOLAS and ISGOTT safety standards.


🚢 Common Use on Ships:

  • Measuring cargo levels in tanks without opening them to the atmosphere (ensuring safety and environmental compliance).

  • Often required by classification societies and port authorities for cargo operations.
