UTI (Ullage Temperature Interface) Service Details:
- Calibration:
This is the most critical part of the service. While many modern UTI
meters have sensors with characteristics stored in their memory that
eliminate the need for routine recalibration of the temperature sensor
itself, the entire unit's functionality must be verified. This involves:
- Temperature
Verification: The technician will use a certified reference
thermometer to check the accuracy of the UTI's temperature reading, often
by submerging the sensor in a bath of known temperature. If the reading
is off by more than a specified tolerance (e.g., ±0.2∘C),
the sensor may need to be replaced.
- Ullage
and Interface Verification: The technician will verify that the
electronic and mechanical systems for measuring ullage and the oil-water
interface are functioning correctly. This includes checking the accuracy
of the tape, the responsiveness of the sensors, and the correct operation
of the audio cues (beeps) for gas, oil, and water interfaces.
- Preventive
Maintenance: This involves physical inspection and cleaning of the
device. This includes:
- Tape
Inspection: Checking the integrity of the measurement tape for any
physical damage, kinks, or wear that could affect accuracy or safety.
- Sensor
and Probe Cleaning: The sensor probe is cleaned to remove any residue
that could interfere with its ability to detect oil, water, or
temperature.
- System
Checks: The technician will inspect the winding drum, battery,
display unit, and all connections to ensure they are in good working
order.
- Troubleshooting
and Repair: If the UTI meter is not functioning correctly, the service
will include diagnosing the issue and performing necessary repairs, which
could involve replacing the tape, sensor, or electronic components.
