UTI Oil-Water Interface Gauging Tapes

Standard Applications:

  • Restricted (“R” type)
  • Gauging
  • Restricted gauging via our tank-top gauging stations and vapor control valves

Restricted Trimode

 Other Applications:

  • Open gauging (“O” type) (Non-Toxic product vapors only)
  • Environmental gauging (“E” type) ( Typical well monitoring vapors only)
These portable FLEXI-DIP® “UTI” gauging tapes provide a convenient and accurate means for measuring ullage, lower oil-water interface and temperature.

MMC’s UTI 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 non-conductive liquid heavier than water, an intermittent horn tone sounds and a red LED starts flashing. This gauging system is certified as “Intrinsically Safe” for use in all class IIC hazardous atmospheres.
