UTI Oil-Water Interface Gauging Tapes

Features

✅ Oil-Selective Absorbent Section: Effectively absorbs oil to identify the exact oil-water boundary.
✅ Non-Absorbent Water Section: Differentiates water level by resisting absorption for clear interface detection.
✅ Gas-Tight Closed Tape System: Prevents hazardous vapors from escaping during gauging.
✅ High-Precision Markings: Clearly printed graduations for easy and accurate reading.
✅ Durable and Corrosion-Resistant Tape Material: Designed for long-term use in harsh industrial environments.
✅ Ergonomic Reel Design: Smooth operation with locking and tensioning features.
✅ Compact and Portable: Suitable for field use with easy transportation and storage.
✅ Safe for Use in Hazardous Environments: Intrinsically safe design compliant with industry safety standards.
