HERMetic DIP 2 GT
The HERMetic DIP 2 GT is a portable gas-tight tank bottom checking device designed for safe, accurate, and efficient inspection of cargo tank bottoms under closed and inerted tank conditions. Developed for demanding marine applications, the HERMetic DIP 2 GT enables operators to verify tank bottom conditions without unnecessarily opening the cargo tank to the surrounding atmosphere.
The instrument is commonly used to identify and check the presence of residual liquid, free water, oil residues, and solid deposits remaining at the bottom of cargo tanks. It provides a practical solution for tank inspection following tank cleaning, cargo discharge, and crude oil washing (COW) operations on tanker vessels.
Safe Closed Cargo Tank Bottom Inspection
The HERMetic DIP 2 GT tank bottom checker is designed to operate through a compatible HERMetic vapour control valve, allowing tank bottom inspections to be performed while maintaining closed-tank conditions. This gas-tight operating principle helps minimise the release of potentially hazardous cargo vapours and reduces unnecessary operator exposure during inspection activities.
Its closed inspection capability makes the HERMetic DIP 2 GT particularly suitable for oil tankers, crude oil carriers, product tankers, and other marine vessels where safe tank inspection procedures are essential.
Simple & Reliable Tank Bottom Measurement
The HERMetic DIP 2 GT incorporates a graduated measuring tape and weighted dip device that allows operators to lower the equipment to the tank bottom and verify its condition. Its straightforward mechanical construction provides dependable operation while simplifying routine inspection and handling onboard vessels.
Designed for practical use in challenging marine environments, the instrument offers a reliable method of checking cargo tanks for remaining liquids and deposits before subsequent cargo operations or further tank preparation.
HERMetic DIP 2 GT for Marine Tanker Applications
The HERMetic DIP 2 GT gas-tight tank bottom checking system is suitable for a range of marine cargo tank inspection activities, including tank bottom verification, residual liquid detection, free water checking, post-cleaning inspection, crude oil washing verification, and cargo tank preparation.
Combining gas-tight operation, portability, simple mechanical construction, and reliable tank bottom checking, the HERMetic DIP 2 GT provides tanker operators with an effective solution for improving the safety and efficiency of routine cargo tank inspection and maintenance operations.
