FLEXI-DIP Gauging Tapes (Restricted and Open)Restricted and
Open Gauging Tapes provide a convenient and accurate means for
measuring ullage, product temperature and the oil-water interface. The
units are configured to operate in the trimode, bimode, interface or
temperature mode. Each instrument is designed to maximize ease of use.
A single penetration of each tank can provide comprehensive data about
internal tank conditions. When the electronic probe senses hydrocarbon,
a steady tone is heard; when sensing water, it emits an intermittent
tone. Temperature is shown on an LED display in the hub of the
instrument.

All
MMC Flexi-Dip Gauging Tape systems come with a sturdy, molded plastic
carrying case for convenient transportation and safe storage, and
include a spare battery and instruction manual.
A Flexi-Dip standard CLOSED Sampling Tape System is shown above, left; a Flexi-Dip RESTRICTED
Sampling Tape System is shown above, right. Typical 1/2-liter stainless
steel sampler and a standard six inch API brass sounding bob are shown
at center. Included as accessories with either sampling tape system are
a 1/2 liter Stn. Stl. sampler, a 6" Brass Bob and a sturdy carrying
case.
1.STANDARD CLOSED (FIPS) Sampling System
The Flexi-Dip (FIPS) system is designed for use with a wide range of
standard MMC vapor-control valves such as the B, MB, MMB and F/C50
styles. The system is specifically designed for applications areas
where the escape of tank vapors during gauging or sampling is
prohibited.
Once the (FIPS) sampling system is attached to any existing MMC
vapor-control valve, it can extract a sample in place but then requires
valve closure, removal from the valve and manual dumping of the
collected product. Standard sounding and tank bottom dryness checks can
also be performed by attaching sampling bobs to the snap hook on the
tape end header.
CLOSED SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS Accuracy of Tape Reading:+/- 1/8 inch (3mm), +/- 0.01% of F.S. tape LGT (F.S. = Full Scale). Tape Lengths: 50 ft. (15m), 75 ft. (25m), 100 ft. (30M), 120 ft.
(37M) stainless steel, or up to 30M Tefzel coated anti-static treated
type, for chemical applications. Typical Weights: 14 lbs. (6.4 KG). Pressure Limits: 3 psi working, 7.5 psi maximum.
2.FLEXI-DIP RESTRICTED Sampling Tape Systems (Minimal Gas Leakage)
Flexi-Dip Restricted
Sampling Tape systems are available for use with MMC's various
vapor-control valves. Each Flexi-Dip Sampling Tape comes complete with
tape with snap hook, 1/2 liter sampler and Std. API brass bob.
Restricted tapes are designed for manual sample collection,
sounding and tank bottom dryness checking. Similar to the FIPS system,
once the Restricted sampling unit is attached to any existing
MMC vapor-control valve, it can extract a sample in place but then
requires valve closure, removal from the valve and manual dumping of
the collected product. Standard sounding and tank bottom dryness checks
can also be performed.
RESTRICTED SYSTEMS SPECIFICATIONS Accuracy of Tape Reading:+/- 1/8 inch (3mm), +/- 0.01% of F.S. tape LGT (F.S. = Full Scale). Application: R-Restricted sampling (1, 1/2- and 1/3-liter) through MMC vapor control-valve. Tape Lengths: 50ft/15mm, 75ft/22.5mm 100ft/30m, 120ft/37m, stainless steel and plastic coated. Typical Weights W/O Sampler: Reel, frame, tape, etc.
100 ft/30m for 1-liter sampling - 9 lbs (4.1kg).
100 ft/30m for 1/2-liter sampling - 10lbs. (4.5kg) with adaptor.

UI OIL- WATER INTERFACE GAUGING TAPES
For Tankers, Shore Terminals and Environmental Applications
These portable FLEXI-DIP® "UI" gauging tapes provide a convenient and
accurate means for measuring ullage and a lower oil-water interface.
They are suitable for marine and land-based tank facilities and also
for environmental monitoring well applications
MMC's UI 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
heavier than water non-conductive liquid, an intermittent horn tone
sounds and a red LED begins flashing.
This gauging system is certified as "Intrinsically Safe" for use in all class IIB hazardous atmospheres

FLEXI-DIP Closed Trimode Gauging TapeThe Portable Closed
Flexi-Dip measuring tape is a battery-operated electronic unit that is
totally gas-tight. When installed in a vapor-control valve mounted on a
storage (cargo) tank, it forms a tightly sealed system that prevents
toxic vapors from escaping and creates a closed gauging system for that
tank. The tape is marked in metric or english units and is anti-static
coated (as is the sensor). In addition, the tape is color marked to
make tape direction and motion easily seen and to ensure full rewind
position. A coiled grounding cable with large alligator clip is
standard. This closed system is recognized by many worldwide regulatory
bodies as equivalent to a fixed gauging system as long as the tape
remains in the valve from the beginning until the end of loading or
discharging of the tank.

for Chemical & Refined Product Carriers
INWOOD, N.Y. -- In a move to address the special needs of chemical and
refined product carriers and barges, MMC International Corp. has
announced the release of a new "closed" gauging system design.
Featuring an ullage range of 15-23 meters (top photo) or 25-37
metres (bottom photo), the system uses a new all-type 316 stainless
sensor for chemical applications and a re-designed PES plastic sensor
for petroleum-based product carriers.
Surface Mount Technology
Both sensors employ state-of-the-art SMT (Surface Mount Technology) and
circuit enhancements that provide better long term reliability, more
precise ullage level sensing, and improved oil-water layer detection.
The new compact model retains the same trouble-free, gas-tight,
heavy duty mechanical design as its larger VLCC class brother. Both
models now have built-in viewing window wipers.
"Intrinsically Safe"
All models are also approved as "Intrinsically Safe" (Exia IIB T3/T4) and as Class 1, Div. 1 gas groups' C&D equipment.
Equipment quality is assured by EECS (Baseefa) annual audits to
confirm that quality requirements of ISO 9002 are maintained in
addition to their supplementary requirements.
Periodic safety compliance audits are also conducted by F.M/SAA, CSA, NKK and BV.
MMC is the world's leading manufacturer of portable instruments
for measuring ullage, oil-water interface, temperative, and bottom
dryness in shipboard and land-based petroleum and chemical tank
systems.
