Sm.OIL: Water Interface meter

Small size but big features. Heron’s small interface meter is an economical unit that will measure to 60ft (20m) below the top of the well, making it ideal for shallow wells or high water tables. The Sm.Oil interface meter measures the thickness of floating or sinking layers of hydrocarbon products in the groundwater. Many of […]

Oil & Static Interface Levels

The Sm.OIL oil/water interface meter has the same functionality of our H.OIL oil/water interface meter. This compact unit only comes in one tape length (20m or 60’) on a small hand held frame designed for easy portability. The premium padded carry case comes included to protect your precision instrument from the elements.

The Sm.OIL is used to measure the interface level between two liquids in the same tank, vessel, well or aquifer. The dissimilar density of two liquids means the lower density, non-conductive product (LNAPL) will float on top of the higher density, conductive liquid (water). Denser products will tend to sink (DNAPL), creating a layer under the water.

The hydrocarbon resistant Kynar jacketed, high tensile steel core tape is able to withstand hydrocarbons, solvents and other harsh contaminants. The CSA intrinsically safe certification makes the Sm.OIL ideal for use in hazardous environments by Oil & Gas, Chemical and Petrochemical Industries.
