What Is It?

The HERMetic UTImeter GTex N Series is a portable electronic gauging equipment designed for multi-parameter measurement of ullage, temperature, oil-water interface and innage (reference height) of stored hydrocarbons and chemicals in various storage tanks on ships, FPSOs and shore terminals.

For operator safety, the GTex N Series connects exclusively to a HERMetic vapour control valve permanently fixed on the tank. The lightweight, battery-operated design ensures anytime availability at any tank location equipped with a vapour control valve.

The unit features easy battery access, interchangeable adaptors for different vapour control valves, and tape cleaning device, window wiper and tape protection as standard.

GTex N Series - Four Versions

All four versions share the same modular Plug & Play platform and are compatible with existing HERMetic valve infrastructure.

Standard

GTex N Series

1-inch sensing probe with FKM gaskets - optimized for crude oil, refined petroleum and key hydrocarbon cargo applications.

Chemical

GTex N Series Chem

1-inch sensing probe with FFKM gaskets and tape connector - for corrosive liquids and aggressive chemicals on chemical tankers.

Viscous

GTex N Series Visc

2-inch probe load - recommended for high viscosity hydrocarbons such as heavy fuel oil, bitumen and viscous crude.

Chem+Visc

GTex N Series Chem Visc

Combines FFKM chemical resistance with 2-inch probe - for high viscosity corrosive liquid cargoes.

ULTRA Sensing Probe - Standard on All N Series

All GTex N Series units come standard with the ULTRA sensing probe - a stainless steel tube with PEEK head incorporating an ultrasonic liquid level sensor and RTD temperature element.

  • 100% repeatability of measurements with ultrasonic detection
  • RTD temperature element with characteristics stored inside the sensor
  • True temperature values sent directly to the electronic display
  • Sensor or tape swap does not require recalibration - Plug & Play
  • No temperature drift, no degradation with sensor ageing
  • Chemically resistant PEEK head for Chem versions

N Series vs Standard GTex: The N Series adds the 4th measurement - reference height (innage / datum plate detection) plus improvements to the display unit, tape marking and overall field durability. Fully backward compatible with all existing HERMetic valves and accessories.

Applications - Where Is the GTex N Series Used?

The GTex N Series is the preferred measurement solution wherever gas tight closed gauging is required - marine, offshore and terminal environments.

🚢

Crude Oil Tankers

Standard tool for VLCC, Suezmax and Aframax ullage, temperature and water interface measurement.

🧪

Chemical Tankers

GTex N Chem handles corrosive acids, solvents and specialty chemicals with FFKM gasket protection.

🛒

Product Tankers

Refined petroleum, naphtha, jet fuel and clean products on coastal and ocean-going vessels.

🏭

FPSOs

Floating Production Storage and Offloading units - GTex N Series is fully FPSO rated.

VLCCs & ULCCs

Very and Ultra Large Crude Carriers demand robust instruments - the GTex N Series delivers.

🏗️

Oil Terminals

Shore-based storage tanks with innage/reference height measurement for terminal custody transfer.

What Problems Does It Solve?

  • 4 measurements in 1 lowering - eliminates multiple deck trips
  • Prevents operator exposure to toxic, flammable or corrosive cargo vapours
  • No recalibration on sensor or tape swap - factory calibrated once, for life
  • Compatible with all existing HERMetic valves and adaptor infrastructure
  • Reduces total cost of ownership through modular field-serviceable design
  • Fully compliant with MARPOL, IMO SOLAS and API MPMS standards

HERMetic Marine Accessories

HERMetic Accessories for Marine Applications

Honeywell's HERMetic range of marine accessories includes portable hand dipping, gas sampling and gas pressure measurement instruments for connection on all HERMetic compact valves - fully compatible with the GTex N Series.

Available Accessories

  • HERMetic DIP 2: 500mm graduated DIP rod for sediment penetration at tank bottom, attached to 30m stainless steel tape.
  • HERMetic DIP 2 GT: Closed gas tight version of HERMetic DIP 2.
  • HERMetic OXY: Samples inert gas over full tank height preventing atmospheric release - per IMO Tanker Safety requirements Resolution A.446 XI.
  • HERMetic Press: Reliable reading within 1500mm vacuum and 2500mm water column range.

HERMetic Onecal Thermometer Zone 0

HERMetic Onecal Thermometer

Intrinsically safe (Zone 0) portable digital field thermometer for temperature verification inside cargo tanks. Components changeable without special tools. Simple ice point recalibration - no laboratory required. A 1 degree C error equates to approximately 0.1% error in standard volume calculation - Onecal eliminates this risk.

HERMetic Marine Valves

HERMetic Valves - 1-inch, 2-inch and 4-inch

HERMetic valves are the interface between the tank and the GTex N Series. They ensure proper connection and prevent any gas release from the tank during gauging. Available in 1-inch, 2-inch and 4-inch sizes with multiple variants for different applications.

Ballast Water Sampler

Ballast Water Sampler

Honeywell Tank System's ballast water sampling solution installed on 7,000+ ships worldwide. The sampler GTX enables quick, safe in-tank ballast water sampling for D1 salinity and D2 microbiological analysis - no contamination, no gas release. Zone, spot, bottom and running bottle options available.

High Pressure Gauging Shuttle Tankers

High-Pressure Gauging for Shuttle and Parcel Tankers

Shuttle and parcel tanker operators must reduce VOC gas release during loading. Honeywell's high-pressure gauging solution maintains gas tightness at pressures up to 0.7 bar while ensuring intrinsic safety against explosive atmospheres. Includes deck valve, UTImeter, GTX CHEM 0.7 bar sampler, and HERMetic DIP 2 GT.

MMC Tanktech Foreign Valve Adaptors for GTex N Series

Adaptors for Foreign Valves

Honeywell provides adaptors and storage tubes for HERMetic GTex N Series gauges for connection on already installed non-Honeywell ball valves onboard. Users can install the GTex N Series on any vessel already equipped with ball valves - without modifying existing tank infrastructure.

Available Adaptors

  • TS 55000: Connects all HERMetic units with 1-inch quick connect coupling to valves with UNF 2.5-inch connection.
  • TS 55115: Connects all HERMetic units with 2-inch quick connector to valves with UNF 2.5-inch connection.

Additional special adaptors for MMC International, MMC Asia, TankTech Korea, Seahover Technologies and other legacy valve brands are available on request.

How Does It Work?

To match existing tank tables, it is critical to know the exact type of valves installed onboard and the reference height of the reading index. The GTex N Series, fitted with the correct storage tube, will have the same reading level without any reading index compensation. When fitted with a foreign valve adaptor, a separate grounding strap is required for intrinsic safety compliance.

What Problems Does It Solve?

The special storage tube and adaptors permit easy connection on foreign valves without the need to change already installed ball valves onboard and without any correction of the tank tables - protecting your existing installation investment while gaining the full benefits of the GTex N Series.

Upgrade packages available: We offer special upgrade pricing for vessels transitioning from MERSEN, MMC, TankTech Korea or Seahover Technologies instruments to the Honeywell GTex N Series. Contact [email protected] for details.
