FAQs
What are “OPW sensors” used for?
OPW sensors are used to monitor fuel sites for inventory accuracy and environmental compliance, including detecting liquid in containment areas (sumps/interstitial spaces) and supporting tank-gauging systems.
What’s the difference between an OPW “probe” and a “sensor”?
Measurement devices: probes measure conditions inside the tank (e.g., product level, water level, temperature, often magnetostrictive); sensors typically monitor containment spaces (sump/interstitial) or site conditions/alarms.
What OPW sensor types are most common at fueling facilities?
Sensor types: fuel/water interstitial sensors; liquid-only interstitial sensors; fuel sump sensors; “smart containment” hydrocarbon liquid sensors plus float-switch style sump/interstitial sensors (model-dependent).
What is an interstitial sensor?
An interstitial sensor detects liquid in the space between tank walls (double-wall tanks) or in containment areas, helping alert to potential leaks or water intrusion depending on the sensor type.
What is an OPW 924B magnetostrictive probe?
The 924B is an all-stainless magnetostrictive probe used for inventory management and (in certain configurations) in-tank leak detection.
Do OPW systems support line leak detection sensors?
Yes, OPW literature includes monitoring accessories like a volumetric line leak detector (example: Model 327).
What are OPW overfill/grounding sensors used for at loading racks?
In loading operations, OPW/Civacon overfill/grounding monitors can detect sensor type, tank liquid state, overfill condition, and ground verification to help support safe loading.
