Which makes use of an opening in the tanks and may
expose the gauge to the cargo of its vapour. An example of
this is the ullage opening.
2. RESTRICTED
DEVICE
Which penetrates the tank and which, when in use, permits
a small quantity of cargo vapour or liquid to be exposed to
the atmosphere. When not in use, the device is completely
closed. The design should ensure that no dangerous
escape of tank contents (liquid of spray) can the place in
opening the device.
3. CLOSED DEVICE
Which penetrates the tank, but which is part of a closed
system and keeps tank contents form being released.
Examples are the float-type systems, electronic probe,
magnetic probe and protected sight glass. Alternatively an
indirect device which does not penetrate the tank shell and
which is independent of the tank may be used. Examples
are weighing of cargo, pipe flow meter.

8-7. Tape
The tape of T2000 series consist of steel tape and two electric wires. Also, they are coated with ETFE. This
ETFE is a kind of teflon and not corroded by almost all kinds of chemical as well as crude oil.
The electric wires are used for transferring the data acquired by sensors to the display part on the deck.
And the electric power for sensors travels to the probe through the steel tape. Also, the steel tape is strong
enough to bear the live load of probe. Therefore it has the function as protector of the electric wires from
breaking.

8-8. Detection Principles for the accuracy and safety of measurement
1. General
Portable oil/water interface detector of TANKTECH is a portable tank measuring Instrument to detect the
Ullage, the interface and the temperature. User can know the surrounding environments of the sensor
probe and the temperature by the beep and the indication of the LCD.
User is able to measure the depth of the oil tank by the reading of the measuring tape too.
The measurement of the Ullage and the oil/water interface is used the ultrasonic sensor and the conductive
bar, the beeps are indicated the surrounding environments of the sensing probe. Measure continuously the
oil temperature in tank and indicate the temperature on LCD.
The sources is used the DC 9V alkaline battery.
Fig 5. LCD display
2. Detection of Ullage
This is the detection method by the difference of ultrasonic receiving signal according to acoustic
impedance.
1. Ullage Level (Gas-Oil Boundary) Detection Device : Ultrasonic Sensor
2. Detection : Be determined the output of the receiver sensor, according to the acoustic impedance of the
oil and the gas. The medium is between the transmitter and the receiver
