HERMetic UTImeter Rtex – Portable Electronic Tank Gauging System for Marine Cargo Measurement

HERMetic UTImeter Rtex

Swift Marine Tech Services Pte Ltd provides marine equipment supply and technical support for customers requiring the HERMetic UTImeter Rtex Portable Electronic Liquid Level Gauge. Manufactured by Honeywell Tanksystem, this instrument is designed for restricted gauging of petroleum products, supporting ullage measurement, cargo temperature verification.

The HERMetic UTImeter Rtex is used in cargo measurement, custody transfer verification, tank inventory control, and free-water detection applications. Swift Marine Tech Services Pte Ltd supports customers across Singapore, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and worldwide maritime markets with marine instrumentation enquiries, equipment supply, spare parts assistance, and technical support.

HERMetic UTImeter Rtex – Reliable Restricted Tank Gauging Technology

The HERMetic UTImeter Rtex is a portable electronic tank gauging system designed to perform measurements under restricted operating conditions. It connects to a compatible HERMetic vapour control valve installed on the tank, allowing operators to measure cargo levels without routinely opening the tank to the atmosphere.

The instrument combines electronic sensing technology with a graduated measuring tape to provide reliable and repeatable readings for petroleum cargo measurement. Its integrated sensing functions help marine operators monitor liquid levels, cargo temperatures, and the presence of free water during cargo operations.

The Rtex is particularly suitable for tanker operators, ship managers, cargo inspectors, marine surveyors, and petroleum terminal personnel who require dependable tank measurement equipment for routine cargo monitoring.

Product Overview – HERMetic UTImeter Rtex

The HERMetic UTImeter Rtex is designed for applications where accurate liquid-level measurement and controlled vapour handling are essential. Its portable construction and electronic display support practical use in marine and industrial tank gauging operations.

Depending on the selected configuration, the instrument enables the following measurements:

  • Ullage Measurement: Determines the distance from the tank reference point to the liquid surface.

  • Temperature Measurement: Provides continuous cargo temperature readings through its integrated temperature sensor.

  • Oil-Water Interface Detection: Identifies the interface between petroleum cargo and free water.

  • Innage and Reference Height Measurement: Available with the appropriate Rtex Visc configuration for applicable measurement procedures.

These functions support cargo quantity verification, inventory management, free-water monitoring, and cargo survey operations.

Available Models – HERMetic UTImeter Rtex Series

1. HERMetic UTImeter Rtex

The standard Rtex configuration features a 1-inch sensing probe and FKM sealing components for common hydrocarbon applications, subject to compatibility with the product being measured.

Key applications include petroleum cargo gauging, ullage measurement, temperature monitoring, and oil-water interface detection.

2. HERMetic UTImeter Rtex Visc

The Rtex Visc configuration features a heavier 2-inch probe arrangement designed for applications involving highly viscous petroleum products or innage measurements where specified.

It can support manual tank-bottom detection and reference-height measurement using the appropriate operating procedure.

Model selection: Confirm the required probe configuration, sealing materials, tape length, tank connection, and cargo compatibility before placing an order.

Key Features of the HERMetic UTImeter Rtex

High-Accuracy Ullage and Interface Measurement

The system offers a published ullage and interface detection accuracy of approximately ±2 mm, supporting precise cargo measurement and inventory verification when operated within the manufacturer’s specified conditions.

Integrated Temperature Measurement

The built-in temperature sensor provides continuous temperature readings to support cargo monitoring and measurement verification. Temperature readings can be displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Audible and Visual Indication

The instrument provides audible and visible indication for measurement detection, helping operators identify the relevant measurement point during gauging operations.

Portable Electronic Display

The backlit LCD display provides measurement information in a compact format suitable for shipboard and terminal operations.

Modular Design and Maintenance

The modular construction supports replacement of compatible components, including the tape and sensing assembly, helping simplify maintenance and reduce unnecessary equipment downtime.

Vapour-Controlled Gauging Operation

The Rtex connects to a compatible HERMetic vapour control valve for restricted gauging. This arrangement helps limit unnecessary cargo vapour release during measurement when correctly installed and operated.

Standards and Hazardous-Area Approvals

  • API MPMS Chapter 3.1A for manual gauging.

  • API MPMS Chapter 7 for temperature measurement.

  • ISO 4512 and ISO 4268.

  • Applicable IMO, SOLAS and MARPOL requirements.

  • Hazardous-area approvals, including ATEX, IECEx and Factory Mutual, according to the specified model and marking.
