The HERMetic UTImeter Gtex is a professional portable electronic level gauge designed for closed, gas-tight tank gauging of hydrocarbons and chemicals on marine vessels.
The system enables three essential measurements in a single operation: ullage level, temperature, and oil-water interface level, providing an efficient solution for cargo measurement, tank inspection, custody transfer, and free-water detection.
Connected to a compatible HERMetic vapour control valve, the UTImeter Gtex allows tank measurements to be performed without opening the tank to the atmosphere, helping minimize unnecessary cargo vapour release during measurement operations.
SMTS Marine Solutions LLC supplies and supports Honeywell HERMetic tank gauging equipment, providing equipment supply, technical consultation, inspection, maintenance, repair, spare-parts assistance, and service support for vessel operators, ship managers, marine contractors, cargo surveyors, and marine inspection professionals.
Closed Gas-Tight Tank Gauging for Marine Cargo Operations | SMTS MARINE SOLUTIONS LLC
Ullage, Temperature & Oil-Water Interface Measurement
The HERMetic UTImeter Gtex combines three important tank measurement functions into one portable electronic gauging instrument.
The system provides:
- Ullage Level Measurement
- Temperature Measurement
- Oil-Water Interface Detection
This three-in-one measurement capability makes the UTImeter Gtex suitable for cargo quantity verification, temperature verification, free-water detection, inventory control, and marine cargo inspection.
Controlled Measurement with Reduced Vapour Release
The HERMetic UTImeter Gtex is designed for closed gas-tight gauging, allowing operators to measure tank contents through a compatible vapour control valve rather than opening the tank directly to the atmosphere.
Closed gauging can help support:
- Reduced cargo vapour release
- Reduced personnel exposure to cargo vapours
- Controlled tank measurement
- Safer cargo inspection
- Efficient cargo measurement
- Professional tanker operations
Accurate Liquid Level Detection
The HERMetic UTImeter Gtex uses an electronic sensing principle to detect liquid level and provide repeatable ullage measurements.
Honeywell specifies ullage and interface accuracy of up to ±2 mm, while the measuring tape accuracy is specified as ±1.5 mm per 30 m.
The system can support:
- Cargo level measurement
- Ullage verification
- Cargo quantity assessment
- Inventory control
- Cargo survey operations
- Custody transfer measurement
Integrated RTD Temperature Sensing
The HERMetic UTImeter Gtex incorporates an RTD temperature element within the sensing system for temperature verification during tank measurement.
Honeywell specifies temperature accuracy of ±0.1°C from 0°C to 70°C and ±0.2°F from 32°F to 158°F. Temperature resolution can be selected between 0.01 and 0.1 degree, with Celsius or Fahrenheit selectable.
Temperature measurement can support:
- Cargo temperature verification
- Cargo quantity calculations
- Cargo condition monitoring
- Marine survey activities
- Custody transfer operations
