Portable tank gauging accuracy is verified onboard.
Tanktech UTI T‑2000 helps you measure ullage, oil‑water interface and temperature with confidence. Calibration and inspection support available in key countries and ports across Europe and the Mediterranean.
The Tanktech UTI T‑2000 is a trusted handheld instrument widely used on tanker ships to measure ullage, oil‑water interface and cargo temperature. This device combines a robust tape with a sensing probe that integrates level detection, temperature sensing, and conductivity measurement to give clear readings when lowered into a tank. It is designed to be simple to operate and suitable for petroleum, chemical and hazardous liquids, with tape lengths commonly available to match different tank depths.
Tanktech emphasizes precision and ruggedness in its portable measuring systems, making UTI meters like the T‑2000 valuable for safe cargo operations and for helping crews assess conditions before loading, discharge and tank cleaning activities. These devices support maritime professionals in observing liquid levels and interface layers quickly and reliably.
Effective use of UTI equipment is also part of good marine practice under international inspection regimes. For instance, IMO SIRE 2.0 guidance stresses that portable ullage and temperature instruments should be maintained, tested and calibrated in line with the manufacturer’s instructions. Valid calibration records are expected to be kept on board as evidence of accuracy and proper upkeep. Calibration cycles for related temperature and gauge equipment are suggested not to exceed about 30 months, with maintenance procedures included in the vessel’s planned maintenance system.
Whether operating in Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Turkey, Gibraltar, Bulgaria or Romania, and whether alongside in Algeciras, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Genoa, Marseille, Thessaloniki or other major ports, it’s important for tank measurement tools like the T‑2000 to be cared for and calibrated. Good measurement practices help with operational planning, safety checks and compliance during inspections, contributing to safe, efficient and environmentally conscious tanker operations.
