Draught measurement

Draught, trim and list

The most important measurements on board are those for determining draught, trim and list. The safety of the ship depends heavily on them. Using the values transmitted from the different measuring points, the load master, as part of the cargo control system (CCS), can determine the exact values of ship attitude and draught. One forepeak and one afterpeak measuring point are usually implemented. On larger ships, two additional measuring points are often applied midships, one portside, one starboard.

Reliable and accurate with VEGAWELL 52

VEGAWELL 52 pressure transmitters are used here to ensure reliable and accurate measuring results. The encapsulated stainless steel housing in protection class IP 68 and IP 69K, reliably protects the electronics and measuring cell from external moisture. The rugged sapphire-ceramic measuring cell can withstand pressure shocks up to 20 times higher than the nominal measuring range and features high corrosion resistance against seawater.
