Touching the liquid is the only way to eliminate the effects of vapors, monitor product tempera- ture, gauge into the cargo sump for dry tank readings, and eliminate time consuming averaging and compensation circuits. Resistance-tape also has no moving parts, so it eliminates mechanical failures, requires no cleaning, and won't lose its signal due to list, trim or COW conditions. And with integral temperature sen- sors in the same tank penetration, installation costs are cut in half. Resistance-tape has twenty-eight years of proven performance on hundreds of vessels.
