The Slot Dipping Device has been designed to provide a convenient and safe method for measuring liquid levels, taking samples, and gathering temperature data in bulk storage tanks containing volatile and hazardous products. This device is available in various sizes, including 4 inches (100 mm), 6 inches (150 mm), and 8 inches (200 mm).
Design Features
The Slot Dipping Device has several design features that make it an ideal solution for measuring liquid levels and taking samples. These features include:
- Negligible loss of vapor
- Operators are not exposed to hazardous vapors
- No product spillage due to wiping of the tape
- Conforms with the requirements of Institute of Petroleum Measurement Manual Part IV Section 3.7
Principle of Operation
The Slot Dipping Device is designed to provide a convenient and safe means of manually measuring the levels and taking samples of petroleum, petrochemical, and other liquids held in storage tanks without relieving pressure within the tank. This device avoids the loss of valuable vapors and exposure of the gauger to excessive fumes.
Operation
The Slot Dipping Device is operated by opening and closing a quick-opening valve unit using a lever through a 90-degree arc. The valve has an aluminum body and an aluminum pallet, which is fitted with an O-ring that ensures tight sealing. A bypass is provided to equalize in the tank and sampling chamber unit if necessary for easy opening.
The device also features a window on the top cover of the gauging unit that can be equipped with an inside wiper to ensure clear vision of the gauge taper and permit accurate reading.
Benefits
The Slot Dipping Device offers several benefits, including:
- Safe operation without exposing operators to hazardous vapors
- Easy and convenient measurement of liquid levels and taking of samples
- No product spillage due to wiping of the tape
- Compliance with industry standards
The Slot Dipping Device is a safe and convenient solution for measuring liquid levels, taking samples, and gathering temperature data in bulk storage tanks. Its design features and operation make it an ideal choice for industries that require accurate and reliable measurements.
