UI Oil-Water Interface Gauging Tapes
For Tankers, Shore Terminals and
Environmental Applications
These portable FLEXI-DIP® "UI" gauging tapes provide a convenient and accurate means for measuring ullage and a lower oil-water interface. They are suitable for marine and land-based tank facilities and also for environmental monitoring well applications
MMC's UI gauging tapes are capable of detecting all floating and non-conductive hydrocarbons. Each instrument is designed for ease of use. Gauging for liquid or Interface level is accomplished simply and quickly. When the electronic probe is lowered and senses a hydrocarbon, a steady horn tone is sounded and a yellow LED illuminates. When sensing an Oil-water interface, or a heavier than water non-conductive liquid, an intermittent horn tone sounds and a red LED begins flashing.
This gauging system is certified as "Intrinsically Safe" for use in all class IIC hazardous atmospheres
Standard Applications:
Restricted ("R" type) & Closed Closed ("C" type) (Marine Tankers via MMC vapor control valves).
Restricted & Closed via our storage tank tank-top gauging stations.
