Rugged Oil/Water Interface Meters

When working in hazardous or explosive environments, use the certified intrinsically safe Rugged Interface Meters. Choose from either a full-size meter or a backpack-size meter.

Ideal for remediation sites, oil refineries, and landfills, these meters accurately measure the thickness of hydrocarbon product layers (LNAPL) as thin as 1 mm (1/200 ft) floating on the water table and sinking layers (DNAPL).

Tough Tape

• Rugged tapes are made of high-tensile steel with Kynar^® coating. Kynar protects the tape from hydrocarbons, solvents, and other harsh contaminants.
• Engineer-grade tapes are manufactured and tested to meet ASME requirements. Tape resists stretching under loads of 150 kg (330 lbs).
• Scales are graduated in meters by mm or in feet by 0.01 ft and are printed beneath the jacket to ensure readability and long life.
  
  

Submersible Probe

• Stainless steel probe has a diameter of 19 mm (0.75 in).
• Probe includes a lens and infrared light emitter, which identify conductive liquid (water) and non-conductive liquid (product).
• Sacrificial security link prevents tape damage by releasing the probe if it becomes trapped in the well.
• A solid tone and solid light indicate oil. An intermittent tone and a flashing light indicate water.

Intrinsically Safe Meter

• Grounding cable ensures safety at hazardous sites.
• Certifications include: CSA and ANSI/UL; Class 9098-01 for hazardous locations; Class 9098-81 (USA) for hazardous sites; Class I groups A, B, C, and D.
  
  

User-Removable Electronics

• Sealed electronics module protects circuitry from dirt and moisture.
• Electronics module is easy to clean, repair, or replace—saving time and money.
• To conserve battery life, the meter shuts off after 5 minutes of inactivity.
  
  

Rugged Reel

• Reels are made of nylon or aluminum (for tapes longer than 150 m or 400 ft) and are mounted on a steel frame with an ergonomic hand grip.
• Hanger hook, tape guide, and reel lock hold tape in place for hands-free use.
• Padded carrying bag included.
