Gas tightness
All parts are assembled together with either
gaskets or O-rings, that makes the device
completely tight.
The sealing of the axle holding the tape with the
mechanical housing is ensured by a special V-
shape gasket.
7.8
Gaskets
Gaskets are made in FKM (Viton) for models
UTImeter Gtex.
On UTImeter Gtex Chem models, gaskets which
are in contact with the liquid are made in FFKM.
7.9
Additional Load (option)
An additional load (see Figure 7-2) on the sensing
probe can be provided for one of the following
reasons. This option is available on UTImeter
Gtex Visc or UTImeter Gtex Chem Visc equipped
with the storage tube Q2 (2") and needs valves of
at least 2" size.
7.9.1
Viscous liquids (> 800 Cst)
For gauging viscous liquids the load can
help the sensing probe in penetrating the
liquid and in keeping the tape straight.
7.9.2
Reference height and innage
For measuring the reference height of a
tank and innages the load allows the
sensing probe to touch the dip/datum
plate.

7.10 Housing and lid
These parts are made in aluminium coated with
polyamid PA 11 (RILSAN).
7.11 Others
The tape is coiled on the axle which holds also
the electronic box and the display unit.
The axle is assembled to the electronic box and
can be locked at discrete positions by means of a
stopping mechanism in the crank. Pull the crank
to free the stopping mechanism.
The storage tube is threaded to the frame.
The storage tube is equipped with a connector
which fits on the MMC valves.
