Honeywell HERMetic UTImeter Otex – Portable Tank Gauging & Ullage Measurement System
Honeywell HERMetic UTImeter Otex is a precision-engineered portable tank gauging system designed for accurate ullage, temperature, oil-water interface, and liquid level measurement in petroleum, chemical, marine, and industrial tank applications. Developed for open and restricted tank gauging operations, the HERMetic UTImeter Otex provides reliable measurement performance for demanding storage and cargo-handling environments.
The system combines an advanced ultrasonic level sensor, RTD temperature sensor, conductivity-based oil-water interface detection, and graduated stainless-steel measuring tape in a compact portable instrument. It is suitable for petroleum terminals, refineries, tank farms, chemical facilities, marine applications, custody transfer operations, inventory measurement, and tank gauging verification.
Core Working Principle
The Honeywell HERMetic UTImeter Otex operates by lowering its electronic sensing probe into the tank through an appropriate gauging opening. The ultrasonic sensing system detects the liquid surface to determine ullage, while the integrated RTD sensor measures product temperature.
The conductivity sensing element identifies the oil-water interface, enabling operators to determine the presence and level of free water beneath the stored product. The measured information is presented through the instrument’s digital display while the graduated tape provides accurate physical measurement reference.
The system provides ullage and interface accuracy of ±2 mm, tape accuracy of ±1.5 mm per 30 m, and temperature accuracy of ±0.1°C from 0°C to 70°C, making it suitable for precise tank measurement applications.

Honeywell HERMetic UTImeter Otex: Advanced Portable Tank Measurement
The Honeywell HERMetic UTImeter Otex is a professional portable electronic tank gauging instrument designed for measuring liquid levels and product conditions in petroleum and chemical storage tanks where open or restricted gauging procedures are permitted.
By combining several measurement functions into one portable device, the Otex enables operators to perform accurate ullage measurement, temperature measurement, and oil-water interface detection without requiring separate instruments for each measurement task.
The system is particularly suitable for tank inventory control, custody transfer measurement, free-water detection, tank calibration verification, and automatic tank gauge validation. Its combination of electronic sensing technology and graduated measuring tape provides operators with accurate and repeatable tank measurement data.
The HERMetic UTImeter Otex is available with different tape lengths, including 15 m, 30 m, and 35 m, allowing the instrument to be selected according to the tank depth and application. The standard probe incorporates an ultrasonic liquid-level sensor, RTD temperature sensor, and conductivity electrode for comprehensive liquid measurement.
For applications involving different product characteristics, the HERMetic range provides suitable configurations and probe options. The Visc version, for example, is intended for viscous products and provides additional capabilities for innage/reference-height measurement and datum plate detection.
The instrument incorporates a rugged stainless-steel measuring tape, electronic sensing assembly, backlit LCD display, audible and visual indications, and modular components designed for demanding industrial and marine environments. The modular construction also supports efficient replacement of serviceable components.
The Honeywell HERMetic UTImeter Otex is widely applicable to oil terminals, petroleum storage tanks, chemical storage facilities, refineries, tank farms, marine cargo operations, and industrial liquid storage facilities where dependable manual tank measurement is required.
For organizations requiring accurate and repeatable tank measurement, the Otex provides a practical solution for monitoring liquid level, temperature, and free-water conditions while supporting efficient tank inspection and inventory management procedures.
Regular inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of the measuring tape, sensing probe, battery, seals, and associated components are recommended to maintain measurement reliability. Replacement parts should be selected according to the specific HERMetic UTImeter Otex configuration to ensure correct operation and compatibility.
