The MMC Restricted Open Type UTI is a professional marine tank gauging instrument designed for controlled measurement of liquid cargoes in tanks where restricted-open gauging is permitted by the vessel’s operating procedures and applicable safety requirements.
UTI gauging combines Ullage, Temperature, and Interface measurement in a single tank measurement operation, making it a practical solution for marine cargo inspection, tank measurement, and quantity assessment activities.
The MMC Restricted Open Type UTI is suitable for applications involving oil tankers, product tankers, chemical tankers, storage tanks, and other liquid cargo measurement operations where the appropriate restricted-open gauging arrangement is available.
SMTS Marine Solutions LLC supplies and supports marine tank gauging equipment, providing equipment supply, technical consultation, inspection, maintenance, repair, and service assistance for vessel operators, ship managers, marine contractors, and marine inspection professionals.
Restricted Open Type UTI Gauging for Marine Tank Measurement | SMTS MARINE SOLUTIONS LLC
Restricted Open Gauging Technology
Restricted-open gauging provides a controlled method of accessing the tank atmosphere for measurement while allowing the operator to obtain important cargo measurement information.
The MMC Restricted Open Type UTI can be used for tank measurement activities where this gauging method is permitted by the vessel, cargo, terminal, and applicable safety procedures.
Restricted-open UTI gauging can support:
- Ullage measurement
- Temperature measurement
- Oil-water interface measurement
- Cargo quantity assessment
- Tank inspection
- Cargo measurement procedures
- Marine survey activities
Operation must always be carried out in accordance with the equipment manufacturer’s instructions, vessel SMS, cargo handling procedures, terminal requirements, applicable regulations, and relevant safety controls.
Three Important Tank Measurement Functions
Ullage Measurement
Ullage measurement determines the distance from the designated reference point at the tank top to the liquid surface. The measured ullage can be used together with the vessel’s tank calibration data for cargo quantity calculations.
Temperature Measurement
Temperature measurement provides the cargo temperature at the measurement location. Cargo temperature can be an important parameter for cargo quantity calculations, inspection, and reporting procedures.
Interface Measurement
Interface measurement can be used to identify the boundary between liquid phases, such as the interface between oil and water, where the instrument and cargo conditions permit such measurement.
The actual measurement procedure depends on the cargo, tank arrangement, vessel procedures, and applicable measurement standards.
Designed for Practical Cargo Measurement Applications
The MMC Restricted Open Type UTI is intended for professional tank gauging applications where accurate and repeatable measurement is required as part of marine cargo handling, inspection, or survey operations.
Typical applications may include:
- Oil Tankers
- Product Tankers
- Chemical Tankers
- Cargo Tanks
- Liquid Cargo Tanks
- Storage Tanks
- Marine Survey Operations
- Cargo Inspection
The suitability of restricted-open gauging must be confirmed for the specific vessel, cargo, tank, terminal, and operating conditions before use.
Support Accurate Tank Measurement Procedures
Tank measurement is an important part of marine cargo operations. Reliable ullage, temperature, and interface measurements can support cargo quantity determination, inspection records, and commercial measurement activities.
- Loading Operations
- Discharge Operations
- Cargo Inspection
- Tank Inspection
- Pre-Loading Measurements
- Post-Loading Measurements
- Cargo Quantity Verification
- Marine Surveying
- Onboard Tank Measurement
Measurement results should be recorded and evaluated according to the applicable vessel procedures, cargo measurement requirements, tank calibration information, and relevant industry practices.
