Free 1 6 - P a g e Color Brochure O n TankRadar O f f e r e d By S a a b M a r i ne

Saab Marine Electronics AB of Gothenburg, Sweden, is offering a free 16-page color brochure on Tank- Radar, a new complete system for monitoring liquid cargoes in tankers.

The TankRadar system measures level, temperature and inert gas pressure in cargo tanks and the level in ballast and bunker tanks.

The system will also compute volume and weight and can measure draught, list, pressure and other parameters.

Information is presented in analog or digital displays, in the form of mimic diagrams on a color VDU, and/or on portable wireless readouts.

TankRadar can be interfaced with the vessel's load calculator or external computer system. Electronic remote control of pumps and valves can also be incorporated in the system.

All tankers and combination carriers may be equipped with TankRadar. Reliability and accuracy are unaffected by the chemical composition, temperature or density of the cargo. TankRadar can be specified for vessels that carry crude, refined petroleum products, bitumen or aggressive chemicals.

According to the brochure, the prime advantage of TankRadar lies in its use of microwave radar for level gauging. The method, developed by Saab, has already been installed on board more than 250 tankers.

The explanatory text of the publication details how TankRadar works, and is accompanied by excellent color drawings of the complete system as well as its individual components.
