10 Mission Critical Applications In Harsh Environments

11 API Marine Sensors

12 Sensors for Marine and Industry Range of sensors: UTS Ultrasonic Tank Switch TLA Tank Level Alarm (95%/98%) UPT Universal Pressure Transmitter UTT Universal Temperature Transmitter TGD Tank Gauging Device

13 Ultrasonic Tank Switch UTS TM High/Low temperature version API Ultrasonic Tank Switch UTS Works on the principle of distributed acoustic waves in a metal rod Technology patented in Europe, USA and Japan standard version

14 Ultrasonic Tank Switch UTS TM Advantages No moving parts & no electronics - ONLY steel inside the tank Temperature range from -200 to +450 Celsius High Pressure up to 200 bar Extended length and flexible rod Easy service and maintenance Unlimited number of versions available Works with any liquid

15 Ultrasonic Tank Switch UTS TM Application advantages Ideal solution for Gas (LNG/LPG) applications Low temperature Tank farms or other applications where extended length is required. Power and energy production where very high temperature occurs Tanks with high pressure

16 UTS TM Technical characteristics & specifications Current output (2 wire) Relay output (4 wires) Repeatability Supply voltage Ambient temperature Product temperature Storage temperature Protection rating Working pressure Shock test CE marking Approvals 7mA / 14mA NO/NC Top mounting < 3 mm Side mounting < 1 mm 11 30V DC C C C IP65 or IP68 Std. up to 40 bar (special version up to 400 bar) 1000g peak EMC according 89/336/EEC amended by 93/68/EEC ATEX Ex II 1 GD EEx ia IIC T5/T6

17 UTS TM Installation Options Tanks, Plants, Pipelines Reservoirs etc. High level alarm, Low level alarm, pump protection Any direction for mounting Any temperature

18 Tank Level Alarm TLA TM Dual point sensor for mandatory/independent High Level & Overfill Alarm Works on the same principle of UTS. Proven and reliable solution Very limited maintenance Low total cost of ownership Can be adapted to any maker of High level / overfill alarm system

19 Tank Level Alarm TLA TM Alarm actuation when liquid level reaches set high and high-high levels Works with any type of liquids and liquefied gas No electronic inside the tank Not sensitive to vapour, moisture and foam Lengths and process connection on request EEx ia II T6 ATEX Approval

20 Tank Level Alarm TLA TM TLA is an integrated part of the API Marine TSS/Alarm High level & overfill alarm Can be adapted to any maker of High level / overfill alarm system No moving parts inside the tank Ideal solution of older and outdated sensors (e.g. floating devices which requires regular replacement)

21 Universal Pressure Transmitter - UPT TM IP67 version IP68 version Robust, Ruggedized and reliable Designed for harsh environment, where other manufacture falls short Competitive solution for replacement of other high end solutions

Universal Pressure Transmitter - UPT TM Detection and measurement of pressure in tanks and pipeline installations Level measurement (hydrostatic

22 Universal Pressure Transmitter - UPT TM Detection and measurement of pressure in tanks and pipeline installations Level measurement (hydrostatic method) in service, ballast and slop tanks Absolute, relative, differential and barometric types Cable on request for IP68 version Ex ia IIC T4 ATEX approved

23 Universal Temperature Transmitter - UTT TM Temperature measurement of water, heating liquid, steam, oil products and gases Thread or flange connection Thermo pocket/well available Submersible type available Length on request Ex ia IIc T4-T6 ATEX Approval

24 Multifunctional Tank Gauging Device - TGD TM Accurate Measurement of Level, Temperature, Pressure. Optional Density

25 Multifunctional Tank Gauging Device - TGD TM Non-contact level gauge with accuracy of 2mm Automatic self-calibration HART 2-wire connection Multi thermo sensors for temperature profile in tank Inert gas pressure Cargo density (optional)

26 Multifunctional Tank Gauging Device - TGD TM Patented principle of Guided Low Frequency (GLF TM ) wave propagation allows equally precise accuracy of measurements along tank height with any shape of tank and type of liquid

27 Guided Low Frequency (GLF TM ) Principle GLF TM technology measures difference in density between air and liquid Tank geometry does not affect the signal thanks to GLF TM wave technology GLF TM wave method secures equal accuracy for the whole tank from top to bottom Does not require calibration Automatic calibration waveguide with accuracy of 1mm every 2 sec. GLF TM wave technology is not affected by foam

28 Guided Low Frequency (GLF) Advantages Measurements not affected by other equipment in the tank Reduced number of sensors required in the tank Possibility to bend Not affected by foam and sloshing

29 Advantages for the Shipyard Flexibility of mounting/positioning TGD TM in tank/on tank top Easy to arrange construction in slop tanks Less cabling only 2 wires Less protection pipes, painting and installation Less deck penetration Less calibration Less time for commissioning

propagation allows equally precise accuracy of
