VITO LT

Temperature and water bottom measurement

Another member of the VITO family product line for temperature and
Features waterbottom measurement is the VITO LT for less demanding requirements
in comparison with the W&M approved VITO series.
Provides accurate liquid
temperature measurement Like any member of the family, the VITO LT is a robust and reliable device
representing the leading edge in sensor technology, fully complying with all
Provides temperature major industrial standards such as ISO and API.

Due to the large quantaties and characteristics of products stored, the
Requires no maintenance temperature of the tanks content is rarely uniform. Single spot temperature
measurement cause a higher temperature uncertainty of the average
Set standards for API product temperature, running into differences in stock accounting of
several thousands of US dollars for an average 50,000 cubic meter storage
Ideal for legal measurement tank. Not to mention the uncertanty in total storage capacity of the tank
farm. That is why the VITO LT sensors provide average temperature of your
stored product by averaging the emerged temperature sensing elements
to take the effect of product layers into account. Optionally it measures the
waterlevel at the bottom of the tank as well, to get the right figures for asset
management calculations.

The VITO LT interface is a solid state electronic unit supplying the measured
data to any other field instrument. Power and transmission is taken care of
by using only a 2-core (twisted pair) cable between interface and gauge.
ENRAF The intrinsically safe signals from the VITO LT comply with all major safety
requirements for use in hazardous areas.
Together with the Enraf tank gauges, the VITO LT contributes in solving
