Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an oil gauging tape and a regular measuring tape?
An oil gauging tape is specifically designed for measuring liquid levels in tanks, featuring a weighted plumb bob and a blade that resists corrosion from hydrocarbons and water. Regular measuring tapes lack these features.
How do I use the water-finding paste with this tape?
Apply a thin layer of water-finding paste to the lower part of the tape and the plumb bob. Lower the tape into the tank until the bob touches the bottom. Wait a few seconds, then withdraw. The paste will change color where water is present, indicating the water level.
Is this tape suitable for use with aggressive chemicals?
The stainless steel blade offers good resistance to many chemicals, but for aggressive solvents or acids, a specialized tape may be required. Always check compatibility with the specific substance.
Can I use this tape for measuring fuel oil as well as water?
Yes, the tape can be used for both oil and water. For oil, use oil-finding paste; for water, use water-finding paste. The stainless steel construction is suitable for both.
