6. Functions - Key Features
This HERMetic instrument is a gas-tight portable multiple
functions gauging system that is designed to perform
under completely closed conditions in a single operation
3 measurements:
a) Ullage (outage). Optionally innage is available¹.
b) Oil/water Interface Level.
Tape resolution: 1 mm (1/16”)

Tape accuracy: ±1.5 mm for 30 m

Minimum detectable tank bottom interface or liquid level:
4 mm (0.16” approx.).
c) Temperature by continuous reading at any level.
Ambient temperature range: -20°C to 50°C

(-4°F to 122°F)
Sensor measurement range:-40°C to 90°C

Temperature reading: °C or °F, selectable.
Ullage level
This HERMetic device meets the requirements of API MPMS
Chapter 7 2001, table 3, ISO 4268 and IP PMM Part IV.
Thanks to the small diameter of the sensing probe this

instrument can be used with valves of diameters down to

25 mm (1”) only.
A tape protection tube prevents closing the valve on the tape

through inadvertence.
Interface level
Gauging is done under completely gas tight conditions
therefore maintaining over- or underpressure in the tank.
Water
The device is designed to withstand tank pressure up to
0.3 bar (4.4 psi).
¹ An additional device, usable with 2” valves only, can

be provided that allows Reference Height and Innage
measurement. Available on “Visc” models.
7. Description
7.1 General
Each HERMetic instrument is individually identified with a

6 digits serial number starting with the letter G, example
G10058. This serial number is printed on the identification
plate as shown on Figure 7-1.
The HERMetic instrument is fitted with an ULTRA sensing

probe.
The unit emits control beep, continuous beep and intermittent Identification plate
beep.
When the sensing probe is surrounded by air, a control beep

occurs every 2 sec.
When the sensing probe is in contact with any petroleum

product, the beep is continuous.
When the sensing probe is in contact with water the beep is

intermittent.
Control beep • •
Continuous beep • • • • • • • • • •
Intermittent beep • • • • • •
A light signal (LED) can also be activated that blinks at the

same frequency as the buzzer tones. This can be useful in noisy
environments or at night. Figure 7-1
A backlight can be used at night to light up the display.
The HERMetic instrument is powered by a 9 Volt battery stored

in the electronic terminal named instrument unit. Current
consumption is very low, ensuring long operation without
battery replacement. A continuous tone means that the
battery needs replacement. If the battery power is too low,
it is no more possible to read the temperature.
Maintenance is easy because design is modular and allows

quick exchange of parts.

level, then a correction table should be used.
There should be no internal tank structure between the valve

outlet and the tank bottom such that will impede the path of
the equipment into the tank.
All valves shall be installed at the same level.
Small systematic level error can be corrected by adjusting the

reading index accordingly.
When designing the gauging port and to avoid damaging the

tape during rewinding it is advised to chamfer or to grind all
Figure 8-1 sharp edges (on pipes, flanges, etc.) that could damage the
tape when operating the gauge.
The following sections, respectively 8.2, 8.3 for connector Q2
and 8.4, 8.5 for connector Q1, describe 2 examples for installing
the valves and adjusting the height of the gauging system.

10.12 Storage of HERMetic devices
For a proper storage of HERMetic products (UTImeter, Sampler,

Thermometer and related spare-parts…), we recommend:
• Clean the devices after use,
• Remove batteries for prolonged storage,
• Store batteries in a dry and cold location,
• Store the goods in a safe, dry and dust free location with an
ambient temperature between +5°C to +45°C.
10.13 Transportation of HERMetic devices
For transportation of the device, always strecht out the tape to

avoid any move of the the sensor inside its storage tube.
For transportation of the device by its handle, always carry the

unit with the button handle directed to the body (carrier).

11.9 Electrical checking of the tape assembly
 Test for grounding
• Remove the battery holder as described in section 10.3.
 Measure the resistance between the ground (-) terminal

(as shown on Figure 11-1) of the electronic circuit and the
tube of the sensing probe; the resistance should be less
than 10 . If it is higher, the steel tape might be broken or
the connection between the sensing probe circuit and the
sensing probe tube might be interrupted.
 Test for short-circuit
• Disconnect the tape at both ends: display unit side and

sensing probe side (see sections 10.4.1 and 10.4.2).
• Measure the resistance between each conductor red-white,
red-black, white-black. This resistance should be infinite as
