Product catalog summary
Product Overview
Honeywell Tanksystem specializes in portable gauging and sampling equipment for marine applications, emphasizing safety, reliability, and accuracy. Their products are ISO 9001 compliant and designed for hazardous environments.
Main Product Lines
  • HERMetic Portable Level Gauging Equipment: Utilized for inventory control, cargo inspection, and calibration of automatic gauging systems.
  • HERMetic Portable Sampling Equipment: Designed for sampling liquids under closed or restricted conditions.
  • HERMetic Onecal Thermometer: An intrinsically safe digital thermometer for hazardous environments.
Measurement Accuracy
Accurate measurement is vital for petroleum transactions to prevent disputes and control losses. Manual tank gauging is essential for calibrating automatic systems and serves as a reference in disputes.
Portable Electronic Gauging Devices (PEGDs)
These devices measure oil/water interface levels, temperature, and ullage, used in open, restricted, or closed gauging applications, often requiring a vapor lock valve or adapter.
Gauging Methods
  • Open Gauging: Traditional method, not feasible in pressurized or environmentally sensitive situations.
  • Closed Gauging: Uses closed devices to prevent atmospheric exposure, typically via a vapor lock valve.
  • Restricted Gauging: Minimizes vapor loss but may allow some escape.
IMO Requirements
According to MARPOL 73/78, oil tankers must have approved oil/water interface detectors for accurate determination in slop tanks and other tanks discharging effluent to the sea.

Measurement accuracy is essential for the sale, purchase and handling of petroleum products. It reduces the likelihood of disputes between buyer and seller and facilitates control of losses. Accurate measurement demands the use of standard equipment and procedures. Although automatic level gauging systems are in widespread use in the petroleum industry for the measurement of petroleum liquids in storage tanks, manual tank gauging is still widely applied as the normal technique for level measurement in non-pressurized and vapour tight tanks. It is highly accurate provided the correct procedures...
