HERMetic DIP Type 2 GT
The HERMetic DIP Type 2 GT is a specialized tool for ensuring that the bottom of closed and inerted tanks is dry and free of deposits after crude oil washing. It features a graduated brass/stainless steel weight and a graduated stainless steel tape wound on a reel, with an adapter for connecting to a HERMetic valve. This device operates under closed conditions, preventing vapor escape into the atmosphere. Additionally, it can estimate the distance between the tank bottom and the zero reference level. The tape features both metric and inch scales and is classified as class II accuracy.
