New Product Announcement

GAUGING SENSOR IMPROVEMENT
Single Stainless Steel Unit Includes
All Three UTI Functions

INWOOD, N.Y. -- Eliminating the need of chemical and petroleum carriers to use two different sensing probes, MMC International Corp. has announced the release of a stainless steel sensor capable of all three (UTI) detection functions (ullage, temperature and oil/water interface).
probe2 probe1
Trimode stainless steel UTI probe can be used with corrosives and non-corrosives.

The breakthrough provides new efficiencies and savings for tanker vessel operators who previously had to use different gauging probes for corrosive and non-corrosive products.

The new MMC stainless steel, triple-function probe can be used with both corrosives and non-corrosives and is also designed for easy cleaning and decontamination on vessels carrying multiple products.

MMC Compatibility
The new sensor is compatible with the tape reel hub display and function-switching circuit boards of all existing MMC trimode gauging tape devices.

It also meets International Maritime Organization (IMO) requirements for oil/water interface detection as well as the British Approvals Service for Electrical Equipment for Flammable Atmospheres (BASEEFA) requirements for "intrinsically safe" operation.

Designed and field tested for long life, the new sensor is field replaceable, being simple to disconnect and remove from the internal barrel. Insertion and reconnection of a new unit is similarly easy.

Improved Response
In addition, a state-of-the-art feedback circuit provides improved interface and temperature response at the same time it is designed to maintain long term ullage accuracy.
