 2. General

The HERMetic DIP Type 2 is designed for checking that the bottom of closed and inerted tanks is
dry and free of deposits after crude oil washing. It consists of a graduated brass/stainless steel
weight attached to a graduated stainless steel tape wound up on reel and an adapter for
connecting a HERMetic valve. The operation is carried out with negligible escape of gas from the
tank to the atmosphere.

The I.M.O. requirements on Tanker Safety and Pollution Prevention, 1978 - resolution A.446 (XI) -
§4.4.4:

"Means such as level gauges, hand dipping, and stripping system performance gauges as referred
to in paragraph 4.4.8. shall be provided for checking that the bottom of cargo tanks are dry after
the crude oil washing. Suitable arrangements for hand dipping must be provided at the aftermost
portion of a cargo tank and in three other suitable locations."

5. Operation

1. install the HERMetic DIP2 on the HERMetic valve via the quick coupling device.

2. Open the valve.

3. Lower the dipping rod into the tank down to reaching the bottom. Looking to the tape
graduation and feeling the weight dropping off the hand line will allow the operator to evaluate
when the level indicating rod is reaching the tank bottom.

4. Once the rod is touching the bottom of the tank, the presence of deposits can be determined
by giving out slightly more tape.

5. If the dip remains in the vertical position, that means it has penetrated deposits.

6. If it tilts on the side, no deposits are present, providing they are not too hard for the dip to
penetrate in or not too soft for the dip to remain standing up.

7. After this check rewind the dipping rod into its storage tube.

8. Close the valve.

9. Disconnect the DIP2.

10. Clean the DIP 2 before the next check..

 g > _ lonksyEtem

6. Maintenance

6.1 Care
For long service life, maintain the HERMetic DIP 2 clean and well lubricated and, when not in use,
store it in a dry and protected location.

The spring loaded coupling and mating Valve quick-connect nipple must be kept free of corrosion.

If grease is used for this purpose, it must be one which contains graphite.

When ordering spare parts, always state the drawing and the item number.
