New Tank Gauging System

Has Modular Components-

Literature Available

A new standardized marine tank gauging system, designed with modular, interchangeable, and plug-in components packed with marine gauging benefits, has been introduced by Metritape, Inc.

The new Metrimodule™ system features unique compact Metri- module-digital displays—each pro- viding level, temperature, and alarm indications plus operational controls for a single tank. Con- tinuous tank ullage is displayed to the nearest centimeter, tenth foot, or inch, and product tem- perature in degrees C or F at the press of a button. Three adjust- able audible and visual alarms are for high, overfill, and low levels.

Low alarm also monitors deck ca- bles for open circuit.

Metrimodule-digital displays can be panel-box mounted in bow- up tank plan pattern (up to 23 displays plus system control mod- ule), or recessed into an available console.

All major Metrimodule system components, including Metritape

Level/Temp sensors, Multifunc- tion-4 circuit cards, intrinsic safe- ty barriers and Metrimodule-dig- ital displays are separate for each tank, interchangeable and plug- in. These standardized repeated elements assure most component failures will affect only one tank, and simplify service by shipboard personnel — maximizing system reliability.
