Tank Gauging Blog: How ‘2-in-1’ Radar Technology Fulfills Requirement for Independent Tank Gauging and Safety Systems on Liquefied Gas Carriers

Jim Cahill

Vessels transporting liquefied gases at sea incorporate specialized storage tanks, which must be equipped with both a tank gauging system and a safety system. The tank gauging system provides continuous measurement of liquid levels for inventory management and custody transfer purposes, while the safety system includes alarms to help prevent overfills. These systems must be […] The post How ‘2-in-1’ Radar Technology…
