Marine Tank Thermometers – Reliable Temperature Measurement for Ship Tanks

Our marine tank thermometers are precision-engineered for the harsh conditions of merchant vessels, offshore platforms, and inland waterway craft. Designed to provide accurate temperature readings for fuel oil, lubricating oil, freshwater, and ballast tanks, these instruments ensure safe and efficient operations on board.

Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, each thermometer features a hermetically sealed dial face to prevent fogging, as well as a rugged bimetallic sensing element for dependable performance across a wide temperature span. The standardized connection threads make installation quick and straightforward, allowing crew members to retrofit or replace existing units with minimal downtime.

Compliant with international marine classification standards, our tank thermometers are supplied as a reliable partner for ship engineers and chief officers. With a variety of stem lengths and dial configurations available, we can outfit engine rooms, cargo control rooms, and bunkering stations with precise monitoring solutions that meet classification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature ranges are available?

Our standard tank thermometers cover a range of 0°C to 120°C (32°F to 250°F), which is ideal for fuel oil, lubricating oil, and freshwater tanks. Custom Celsius/Fahrenheit ranges can also be provided upon request.

What stem length should I choose?

Stem length depends on tank wall thickness and how far the sensing tip must extend into the liquid. For a typical double-wall fuel tank, a 150 mm stem is common. Deeper tanks may require 220 mm or 300 mm stems. We recommend measuring the tank pocket depth before ordering.

Are these thermometers suitable for hazardous areas?

This mechanical bimetallic design is intrinsically safe for use in explosive atmospheres where electrical sensors could be risky. However, always verify the specific hazardous area classification of your tank and consult the vessel’s safety officer.

Do you offer calibration certificates?

Yes, we can supply a calibration certificate for each unit at no extra cost. Certificates are traceable to national standards and are accepted by major classification societies.
