Honeywell’s HERMetic UTImeter Gtex is a portable, gas-tight tank gauging instrument designed for accurate and reliable measurement of liquids such as hydrocarbons, petroleum products, chemicals, and other liquid cargoes.
The HERMetic UTImeter Gtex combines essential tank measurement functions including ullage, temperature, and oil-water interface detection in a single portable instrument. It is designed for closed gauging applications using a compatible HERMetic vapour control valve.
At Swift Marine Tech Services Pte Ltd, we provide professional support for Honeywell HERMetic UTImeter Gtex supply, technical assistance, inspection, calibration support, maintenance, troubleshooting, spare parts, and replacement requirements.
One Instrument for Essential Tank Measurements
The HERMetic UTImeter Gtex combines multiple measurement functions into one portable tank gauging instrument.
Ullage
The instrument measures the distance from the tank reference point to the liquid surface, providing essential information for cargo quantity calculations and inventory management.
Temperature
The integrated temperature measurement function provides cargo temperature information required for tank measurement and cargo management procedures.
Oil-Water Interface
The sensing system detects the boundary between the cargo and free water at the bottom of the tank, assisting operators in identifying water accumulation.
Optional Innage / Reference Height
Depending on the selected configuration, the instrument can provide an additional innage or reference-height measurement for specific tank gauging requirements.
Closed & Gas-Tight Tank Gauging:
The HERMetic UTImeter Gtex is designed for closed gauging through a suitable HERMetic vapour control valve, providing controlled access to the tank during measurement.
Three Essential Measurements:
One instrument provides ullage, temperature, and oil-water interface detection, reducing the need for separate manual measurement equipment.
Accurate Ullage Measurement:
The gauging system provides ullage information required for cargo measurement, tank inventory control, quantity calculations, and operational monitoring.
Integrated Temperature Measurement:
The Gtex incorporates temperature measurement to provide cargo temperature information during the gauging operation.
Oil-Water Interface Detection:
The instrument can detect the interface between liquid cargo and free water, supporting free-water measurement and cargo inspection.
Portable Professional Design:
Its portable configuration allows the instrument to be transported and used at different suitable tank measurement points onboard vessels.
HERMetic Valve Compatibility:
The Gtex is designed to operate with compatible HERMetic vapour control valve arrangements for closed tank gauging.
Pre-Calibrated Sensing System:
The sensing arrangement is designed to provide reliable measurement performance and simplify routine operation.
Compact Measuring Arrangement:
The compact probe and tape arrangement makes the instrument suitable for practical marine tank gauging applications.
Marine Cargo Measurement:
The Gtex is suitable for appropriate applications involving oil, petroleum products, hydrocarbons, chemicals, and other compatible liquid cargoes.
Benefits
Safer Closed Tank Measurement:
The closed gauging arrangement helps reduce direct exposure of personnel to cargo vapours compared with open tank gauging practices.
One Instrument, Multiple Measurements:
Ullage, temperature, and oil-water interface measurements are combined into a single portable solution.
Efficient Cargo Measurement:
The Gtex allows operators to obtain essential tank measurement data efficiently during cargo operations and inspections.
Improved Cargo Control:
Reliable measurement information supports cargo quantity determination, inventory management, transfer monitoring, and operational verification.
Free-Water Detection:
Oil-water interface measurement helps identify free water accumulation within cargo tanks.
Reduced Equipment Requirements:
Combining several measurement functions into one instrument can simplify the tank gauging process.
Portable & Practical:
The compact design allows operators to move the equipment between suitable gauging locations as required.
Suitable for Demanding Marine Operations:
The Gtex is designed for applications where dependable tank measurement is required during tanker and marine cargo operations.
Controlled Vapour Exposure:
The gas-tight gauging arrangement provides a controlled method of obtaining measurements from cargo tanks.
Long-Term Serviceability:
Inspection, maintenance, component replacement, and appropriate calibration support can help maintain reliable equipment performance.
The HERMetic UTImeter Gtex operates through a compatible closed gauging arrangement installed on the tank.
The instrument is connected to the appropriate HERMetic vapour control valve, allowing the sensing probe and measuring tape to enter the tank without opening the tank directly to the atmosphere.
As the probe is lowered, the system provides information required to determine the liquid level, cargo temperature, and oil-water interface.
The operator can use the resulting measurements for cargo control, tank inventory management, free-water detection, and other applicable tank measurement procedures.
This combination of closed access and multi-parameter measurement makes the Gtex a practical solution for modern marine tank gauging operations.
Closed Gauging & Vapour-Tight Tank Access
Cargo tanks can contain volatile or hazardous vapours, making controlled tank access an important consideration during measurement.
The HERMetic UTImeter Gtex is designed to work through a compatible vapour control valve, providing a closed measurement arrangement.
The operator can perform the required gauging operation while maintaining the tank’s controlled access arrangement.
This approach is particularly valuable for tanker operations involving volatile petroleum products, hydrocarbons, and compatible chemical cargoes.
Advanced Ullage Measurement
Ullage measurement is fundamental to marine cargo quantity determination.
The Gtex provides the operator with the distance between the tank reference point and the liquid surface.
Ullage data can support:
- Cargo quantity calculations
- Tank inventory management
- Cargo transfer monitoring
- Loading and discharge operations
- Tank inspection
- Cargo surveys
- Operational verification
Accurate and repeatable ullage measurement is an important part of effective cargo control.
Integrated Temperature Measurement
Cargo temperature can have a significant role in cargo measurement and quantity calculations.
The integrated temperature measurement function of the HERMetic UTImeter Gtex provides temperature information during the gauging process.
This allows operators to obtain both level and temperature information using the same portable tank measurement instrument.
Temperature information can be used as part of applicable cargo measurement and operational procedures.
Oil-Water Interface & Free-Water Detection
The presence of free water in cargo tanks can be an important consideration during cargo inspection and measurement.
The HERMetic UTImeter Gtex provides oil-water interface detection to help operators identify the boundary between cargo and water.
This can assist with:
- Free-water detection
- Cargo inspection
- Tank inventory assessment
- Cargo quantity calculations
- Tank condition monitoring
- Cargo transfer verification
The actual response of the interface sensor can depend on the cargo characteristics and operating conditions, so the equipment should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Marine cargo measurement requires dependable information about what is inside the tank.
The Honeywell HERMetic UTImeter Gtex brings several essential measurements together in one portable system.
By combining ullage, temperature, and oil-water interface detection, the instrument can support important activities throughout the cargo operation.
Typical measurement activities include:
Before Cargo Transfer
Tank levels and conditions can be checked as part of applicable pre-transfer procedures.
During Cargo Operations
Measurement information can support monitoring of cargo movement and tank inventory.
After Cargo Transfer
Final tank measurements can be used for applicable cargo quantity and inventory procedures.
