MTG™ 3012 "Multi-function Tank Gauge"

The MTG™ “Multi-function Gauge” provides more data and the lowest cost of ownership of all "Inventory" tank gauges on the market.  MTG™ customers experience both economic and operational benefits from its use, typically seeing payback on the MTG™ within the first year of operation.

It is the only tank gauge (single instrument) to provide all necessary data parameters to calculate volume by either Hybrid Method (Level, Temperature, Density, & Water) or Hydrostatic Method (Mass, Density, & Water) in real time. It provides both quantitative and qualitative measurement of product.

GSI 3024 Redundant MTG² 

The GSI 3024 Redundant MTG² is a tank gauge that provides all the features and options of the GSI 3012 MTG, only doubled.  It is literally two independent 3012 MTG’s within one physical probe (in tank conduit). (Also see 3012 MTG information).

NEW  Multi-function Tank Gauge Technology

GSI unveils the latest advancement in “MTG” Multi-function Tank Gauge technology; more intelligence, more accuracy, more diagnostic and calibration features to begin with...

The MTG is still the most accurate gauge for determining volume by Hybrid Method (Level, Temperature, Density, and Water) or Hydrostatic Method (Mass, Density, and Water) for Custody Transfer, Inventory, or Loss Control applications. MTG product line has No Moving Parts, Bottom (standard) or top referenced, and are self calibrating and self diagnostic after initial setup.

“Question of Accuracy”

The MTG “Multi-function Tank Gauge” is the most accurate tank gauge for volume measurement. 

Why should you Focus on Volume and Not Level?

In the petrochemical industry, Shareholders, CEO’s, CFO’s, management, etc. are all concerned with net liquid assets, i.e., volume.  The net worth of any company is in part based upon the inventory and the protection of company assets.  In the oil and petrochemical industry this means accurate liquid measurement and loss control procedures. 

MMP Gauge

MMP is a new gauge recently introduced to the market. It is the third generation of the CAP product line.

The MMP can physically install within any tank up to 20 feet (6m) in height (UST, AST, Rail Car, Tank trucks, Bullet tanks, Cylinder Tanks, etc.).  It is simply not just another gauge, it is truly unique.

Fiber Ethernet Tank Farm Topology

The major cost in any tank gauging or tank farm automation project is the field wiring. Normally two-thirds (2/3) of the cost is for wire, conduit, electrical fittings, etc. The upgrade of older technology in the field is often delayed because of the capital money needed to replace the communications infrastructure. This means the benefits are also delayed and cost you money.

A Tank Full of Money

I recently had the opportunity to give a paper at a School on Hydrocarbon Measurement.   Because of the influx of work and the human tendency to procrastinate, things began to build up, and my time was squeezed from all directions.  I waited until the proverbial last minute to start my paper.  I worked well into the night.  I found it hard to put across a simple message that people would understand.  Finally I just went home to get some sleep. 

Standards for Tank Gauging (01/07)

The following are some of the reference standards used for liquid level or mass tank gauging worldwide.  The American Petroleum Institute (API) which along with International Standard Organization (ISO) looks at the installed accuracy of the instrument instead of the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) which looks at instrument accuracy (laboratory accuracy).

MTG™ Vs. Hydrostatic Nitrogen Bubblers

Recently a Hydrostatic Nitrogen Bubbler manufacturer published a chart entitled “Tank Gauging Technology Comparison” showing their gauge vs. a variety of gauge technologies. It was obvious in the comparisons to other technologies (Mechanical Tank Gauges, Radar, Servo, Hydrostatic, Magnetostrictive, and MTG) that they had made both false and misleading statements. After reading and reviewing literature from all manufacturers, GSI makes the following “Tank Gauging Comparison between MTG and Hydrostatic Nitrogen Bubblers.
