HERMetic UTImeter RTex
for Restricted Operation
Honeywell's HERMetic UTImeter RTex is a portable electronic liquid level gauge designed for gauging of petroleum products under restricted conditions. A restricted system exists when a marine tank vessel allows some vapors from its cargo tanks into the atmosphere under normal operating conditions.

The HERMetic UTImeter RTex offers three measurements in a single operation, making it indispensable for efficient cargo management aboard petroleum tankers and marine vessels:
- Ullage level measurement
- Continuous temperature verification
- Oil-water interface level identification
The unit is used for custody transfer, cargo control measurement and free water detection on marine vessels. Connected to a HERMetic vapor control valve fixed on the tank, it permits operation under restricted conditions. It features easy battery access and can be fitted with interchangeable adaptors for different vapor control valves. Tape cleaning devices, window wiper and tape protection are all standard.
What Problems Does It Solve?
The HERMetic UTImeter RTex allows static verification of tank content and continuous temperature reading with incomparable repeatability. The fully modular unit ensures high accuracy and stability, while significantly reducing maintenance costs for vessel operators.
