Rugged Oil/Water Interface Meters

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.
