Advanced Gas-Tight Tank Bottom Verification Equipment for Marine and Petroleum Operations
In modern tanker operations, safety and accuracy are critical during cargo tank inspections. The HERMetic DIP Type 2 GT is a professional gas-tight dipping device designed to perform tank bottom verification, sludge detection, and dryness inspections without opening the tank atmosphere.
SMTS MARINE SOLUTIONS LLC supplies the HERMetic DIP Type 2 GT to ship owners, tanker operators, terminals, offshore facilities, and inspection companies seeking reliable closed gauging solutions that enhance operational safety and environmental protection.
What is HERMetic DIP Type 2 GT?
The HERMetic DIP Type 2 GT is a portable gas-tight dipping device specially designed for closed gauging applications. It allows safe inspection of tank bottoms without exposing personnel to hazardous cargo vapors.
Main Components
- 500 mm graduated dipping rod
- Stainless steel measuring tape
- Gas-tight connection system
- HERMetic quick-connect coupling
- Reel-mounted tape with metric and imperial graduations
The instrument is commonly used to identify water, sludge, sediments, and dryness conditions inside cargo tanks following loading, discharge, or crude oil washing operations.
The HERMetic DIP Type 2 GT allows personnel to inspect cargo tank bottoms while maintaining a completely closed system. By eliminating vapor release during measurements, the equipment helps protect crew members from exposure to hazardous gases and supports safer tanker operations.
Its rugged construction and precision measuring system make it an essential tool for routine tank inspections, cargo surveys, and post-cleaning verification procedures.
