UTI (Ullage Temperature Interface) is a detector used to measure the ullage, temperature, and the oil-water interface onboard tankers. On this page, we examine the UTI functions, principles of working and the importance of its annual calibration. MMC's UTI gauging tapes are capable of detecting all floating and non-conductive hydrocarbons. Each instrument is designed for ease of use. Gauging for liquid or interface level is accomplished simply and quickly. When the electronic probe is lowered and senses a hydrocarbon, a steady horn tone is sounded and a yellow LED illuminates. When sensing an oil-water interface or a non-conductive liquid heavier than water, an intermittent horn tone sounds and a red LED starts flashing.

UTI (Ullage Temperature Interface) is a detector used to measure the ullage, temperature, and the oil-water interface onboard tankers. On this page, we examine the UTI functions, principles of working and the importance of its annual calibration.   

What is Ullage Temperature Interface (UTI)?

The UTI detector is a portable liquid level gauge that is commonly used in the shipping industry to measure the amount of hydrocarbons and chemicals in a ship's tank. This device includes a sensor probe, measurement tape, display unit, and winding drum. Its primary purpose is to determine the temperature and oil-water interface on tankers by attaching the sensor probe to the measurement tape, which can vary in length from 15m to 40m. Manufacturers offer a temperature range between -40°C and 110°C. All UTI meters have earth grounding capabilities for safety purposes.

Note: It is very important that the Ullage Temperature Interface system is grounded to the tank before the probe is introduced into the tank and remains grounded until after complete withdrawal from the tank.

How does Ullage Temperature Interface (UTI) work?
In the following paragraphs, we will introduce how the ullage, temperature and oil-water interface are detected onboard:

Ullage Detection

The ullage detector of the UTI integrates two elements (1) electronic circuits and (2) two piezoceramic plates. When the sensor head reaches the oil or petroleum, an ultrasonic sound is emitted. The receiver processes and sends this sound to the instrument unit that emits a continuous beep sound.

Temperature Detection

The sensing component of the UTI detector is a Platinum Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD). This element is situated in the temperature electrode that is filled with a heat transfer compound paste to hasten the latency. After digitizing the RTD element signal, the micro-controller in the sensor probe corrects and compensates for any errors. The RTD element's attributes are saved in the sensor memory and are exclusively for that sensor, so a new calibration is not required when replacing the sensor. The micro-controller sends the data to the Display Unit that can be read by the technician.

Interface Detection

The operating principle for oil-water interface level detection of the UTI detector involves measuring conductivity between an active electrode and a grounded electrode. When the liquid measured is conductive (e.g., water), the ullage sensor detects its existence. Afterwards, the conductivity electrodes and their related electronic circuits modify the coded signal generating an intermittent beep sound.

What types of Ullage Temperature Interface (UTI) exist?

UTI meters can be either open or closed types, with the latter having a gas-tight body to prevent hazardous gases from escaping the measurement tank.
 

UTI (Ullage, Temperature, Interface) is an ultrasonic measure that integrates 3 functions in 1: Measuring Ullage in the tank, Temperature temperature and oil/water interface. Combining the first 3 letters of 3 features should be called UTI. The device is used mainly on oil vessels, chemical vessels and general liquid cargo tank depots.

There are not many UTI manufacturers for oil/chemical vessels, it is relatively specific and picky customers. Famous companies include MMC, HERMetic (Tanksystems), Tanktech, Marsen, Rongde.

ULLAGE TEMPERATURE INTERFACE DETECTOR is necessary for cargo tanker and it is designed for measuring the ullage level, the oil-water interface level, the temperature sampling the cargo.
