1. MMC Portable gauging tape (Asia), Model D-2401-2

MMC (Asia) Portable triple function (Ullage/ temperature/ oil water interface) gauging device “SONIC TAPE” Model D-2401-2 has been inspected and type-approved by the administration according to the specification MEPC.5 (XIII) as Oil-water interface detector

This Portable Tank Gauging Tape Device “SONIC TAPE” is an intrinsically safe apparatus approved by the authority, it can be used in the dangerous, flammable atmosphere under the category of Ex ia IIB T4

Construction of the “SONIC TAPE” is conductive graduated tape, sonic sensing probe (Triple Function) and Operation board (electrical hub PCB operated by battery) in the body component (Tape Reel Ass’y with Storage Barrel). It is able to gauge Ullage, Oil-water interface level and Temperature of cargo liquid in tank directly, accurately, easily and Safely on the Vapor Locks (so called in Marine Safety Criteria for industry vessels against Tank Gauging Station) installed on deck of the tanker as Closed (Restricted) device 

 

 

 

2. MMC Portable gauging tape (USA), Model D-2401-2

  • FLEXI-DIP Closed Trimode gauging Tape

The 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.

5. MMC Portable Tank Bottom Dryness Checking Device (Asia)

The IMO requirement on Tanker Safety and Pollution Prevention, 1978 – Resolution A.446 (XI) 4.4.4. states “Means such as level gauges, hand dipping, and stripping system performance gauges as referred to in paragraph 4.4.8 shall be provided for checking that the bottoms of cargo tanks are dry after the Crude Oil Washing. Suitable Arrangements for hand dipping must be provided at the aftermost portion of a cargo tank and in there (3) other suitable locations unless other approved means are fitted for efficiently ascertaining that the bottom of very cargo tank is dry”. So the simplest method for checking dryness of tank bottom is to lower a Dipping Scale suspended from the graduated stainless steel tape constructed in the Reel Device to the tank bottom and read-out the level adhered remaining oil on the Dipping Scale.

Portable Tank Bottom Dryness Checking Device is constructed basically to be coupled with Tank Gauging Station (Vapor Locks) to permit releasing only minimized inert gas from tank in accordance with “CLOSED” requirement and GROUNDING of the device in order to avoid explosion due to accumulation of static electricity after tank washing.

7. Tape Barrel and Inert Gas Pressure Meter

  • Tap Barrels

MMC manufactures an extensive line of vapor-control valve adaptor barrels that are easily interchanged with any existing barrels on MMC’s Flexi-Dip Retricted or Closed gauging tape units.

In addition, special adaptor barrels are available to convert other makers’ vapor control valves in a manner that allows those valves to be used with MMC closed or restricted tank gauging and sounding equipment. All adaptor barrels are constructed and factory tested to insure that no change to an existing ZERO ULLAGE REFERENCE will occur when reading cargo level with the supplied adaptor.

MMC also offers an assortment of additional gauging and sampling accessories such as pressure gauges for inert gas measurement, custom-made sounding bobsand rods, gas sampling hoses, gas sampling heads, tank bottom and zone samplers

 

 

 

  • GVP Inert-Gas Pressure Meter Manufactured in Japan by MMC (Asia)

Inert gas pressure in a tank can easily be measured by fitting the appropriate model GVP portable pressure meter on an MMC vapor control valve/ tank gauging station installed on the top of the tank. The GVP-75 series pressure meters feature a gas seal mechanism to prevent gas leakage from the tank. The meter’s screw-type orifice makes it secure from sudden pressure changes and a mesh filter at the inlet prevents the intake of dust.

- Range: +2500 to -1000mm (water)

- Accuracy: + /- 1.5% toàn thang đo

8. MMC C-L COUPLING

  • C-L Couplings with built-in safety ratchet lock

Ratchet C-L couplings provide quick, safe connections on a wide range of applications: Both marine and dockside hoses, manifolds, loading arms, valves. Each corrosion-resistant coupling (depending on its diameter) contains from three to ten helical cams. Each ratchet cam is individually locked into place so that it can’t be loosened without a special wrench (see below). A typical 3-cam connection is completed in less than a minute

 

 

  • STANDARD CONFIGURATIONS

Standard C-L coupling configurations include studded end, weld-neck and slip-ons. Studded and couplings are designed to fit on existing flanges, with studs projecting out the back of the C-L flange. Weld-neck and slip-on coupling are designed for welding directly to a pipe, saving the cost of an additional mounting flange.

► Technical specification:

  • Flange: 150# ANSI, Nikel ASTM A-516-70 steel
  • Ecu cam-lock: ASTM A-216 steel, cam-bolt: ASTM A-311 bearing steel
  • Cam: ASTM A-487 bearing stainsteel, CA-6NM alloy

  • Grease pipe for cam bolt: 304 stainsteel
  • Cam-locking: mangan copper, ASTM A-147, Alloy 8A
  • Test pressure: 450 psi (32 kgf/cm2

 

 

 

  • VAPOR CONTROL VERSION FOR MARITIME TANKERS AND BARGES

C-L Couplings for use in maritime vapor recovery operations feature a special lug pin to prevent a vapor collection line from being inadvertently connected to a cargo line. The special pin on the shipboard flange only fits into an opening found in the land end of the correct coupling. This configuration conforms to all ANSI standards. C-L vapor control couplings are also colored bright yellow to further prevent misidentification

 

  • SPECIAL OFFSHORE FLOATING HOSE FLANGE COUPLING

A special spool piece flange coupling (above, views A&B) is now available for floating hose operations in the offshore loading industry. The spool piece unit is designed for tight area manifold extensions, hose lifting points and reducer couplings. It features special lifting pads, cam guard ring and enhanced corrosion resistant qualities required for offshore applications. As options, MMC also offers a studded type C-L coupling (above C), that can be attached to a customer-supplied standard spool piece, or an optional C-L coupling with stud lengths long enough to bridle a butterfly valve and floating hose flange end. Both of these alternate configurations have the same enhanced corrosion feature as the spool piece type
