Overview
Honeywell Tanksystem’s HERMetic UTImeter Gtex N Series is a portable gas tight liquid level gauge designed for closed gauging of hydrocarbons and chemicals. It ensures increased safety and efficiency in cargo control measurement, custody transfer, temperature verification and free water detection on marine vessels.

What Is It?
HERMetic UTImeter Gtex N Series enables three measurements in a single operation:

• Ullage level measurement
• Temperature verification
• Oil-water interface level detection

It is available in four versions:

• HERMetic UTImeter Gtex N Series with 1-inch sensing probe, FKM gaskets for key hydrocarbon applications
• HERMetic UTImeter Gtex N Series Chem with 1-inch sensing probe, FFKM gaskets and tape connector for use with corrosive liquids
• HERMetic UTImeter Gtex N Series Visc or HERMetic UTImeter Gtex N Series Chem Visc with 2-inch load on the sensing probe, recommended for high viscous products in hydrocarbons or corrosive liquids

HERMetic UTImeter Gtex N Series allows easy battery exchange and can be fitted with interchangeable adaptors for connection on different vapor control valves. Tape cleaning devices, window wiper and tape protection are standard parts.

How Does It Work?
The sensor of HERMetic UTImeter Gtex N Series is calibrated once at the factory and does not require subsequent calibration. The temperature probe is an RTD element, with its characteristics stored inside the sensor. The sensor sends true temperature values to the electronic package. Therefore, changing a sensor or a tape does not require a new calibration.
The unit complies with a host of regulations and standards and holds multiple approvals from national and classification authorities.

What Problems Does It Solve?
Honeywell’s HERMetic UTImeter Gtex N Series allows static verification of the liquid level in a tank and continuous temperature reading of the liquid with high repeatability, thanks to the electronic detection principle. The fully modular unit ensures accuracy and stability while reducing maintenance costs for users.
