Honeywell Tanksystem’s HERMetic UTImeter Gtex is a portable gas tight liquid level gauge designed for closed gauging of hydrocarbons and chemicals. It ensures increased safety and efficiency in cargo control measurement, custody transfer, temperature verification and free water detection on marine vessels.

What Is It?
​HERMetic UTImeter Gtex enables three measurements in a single operation:

  • Ullage level measurement
  • Temperature verification
  • Oil-water interface level detection

It is available in four versions:

  • HERMetic UTImeter Gtexwith 1-inch sensing probe, FKM gaskets for key hydrocarbon applications
  • HERMetic UTImeter Gtex Chemwith 1-inch sensing probe, FFKM gaskets and tape connector for use with corrosive liquids
  • HERMetic UTImeter Gtex Visc or HERMetic UTImeter Gtex Chem Viscwith 2-inch load on the sensing probe, recommended for high viscous products in hydrocarbons or corrosive liquids.

HERMetic UTImeter Gtex allows easy battery exchange and can be fitted with interchangeable adaptors for connection on different vapor control valves. The tape cleaning devices, window wiper and tape protection are standard parts

How Does It Work?
​The sensor of HERMetic UTImeter Gtex is calibrated once at the factory and does not require subsequent calibration. The temperature probe is an RTD element, with its characteristics stored inside the sensor. The sensor sends true temperature values to the electronic package. Therefore, changing a sensor or a tape does not require a new calibration.
The unit complies with a host of regulations, including:

  • IMO (Solas 74, MARPOL 73/78)
  • ISO (4512, 3170, 4268)
  • API (MPMS Chap 3.1A, MPMS Chap 7, MPMS Chap 8.1, MPMS Chap 17.11)
  • IP (PMM Part III-1, PMM Part IV)
  • EC Directive 89/336/EEC (EMC)
  • EC Directive 94/9/EC (MED)
  • EC Directive 96/98/EC (ATEX 100a).

It has been approved by:

  • National authorities (USCG, MSA, GOST-R)
  • All major classification societies
  • ATEX, IECEx, Factory Mutual, NEPSI, GOST standard.
