Ballast water in the wing and double bottom tanks

The ballast water measurements in the wing and double bottom tanks go directly into the calculations for ship trim, draught and list. Since the measuring sites during operation on board are virtually inaccessible, reliability and stability are an absolute must. Pressure shocks, abrasive sand particles and brackish water place additional heavy demands on the instrumentation.

VEGABAR 66 for double bottom tanks

Thanks to its separate electronics, sensor housing in IP 69K and ceramic measuring cell, the VEGABAR 66 is the perfect sensor for harsh conditions.
The mounting bosses, which are partly located under deck, are sealed with the stainless steel flanges and thus withstand corrosion or breaking waves. The climate compensated electronics can be installed on site.

VEGAPULS 66 in the wing tank

VEGAPULS 66 offers reliable and safe measurement in the straight, vertical wing tanks.
The sensor is unaffected by breaking waves and abrasion. Temperature fluctuations in the tank do not influence the measuring result either. The housing is available in IP 68 version and does not need ventilation. A special connection is available for optional hand sounding.
