6.7 Additional Load (option)
An additional load (see Figure 6-2) on the sensing
probe can be provided for one of the following
reasons. This option is available on UTImeter
Rtex Visc equipped with the storage tube Q2 (2”)
and needs valves of at least 2” size.
6.7.1 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.
6.7.2 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.
6.8 Others
The tape is coiled on a reel which holds also the
electronic box and the display unit.
The reel 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 external reel flange and the frame are made
in aluminium coated with polyamid
PA 11
(RILSAN).
The storage tube is threaded to the frame.
The storage tube is equipped with a quick-
connector which fits on the HERMetic valves.
