Marine Oil Gauging Tape - Stainless Steel, Metric & Inch, 30m/100'

This marine oil gauging tape, also known as a sounding tape or ullage tape, is an essential tool for accurately measuring the depth of oil, water, or other liquids in ship tanks. The tape is made from durable stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh marine environments. It features a dual scale with both metric and inch graduations, allowing for flexible use across different measurement standards.

The tape is wound on a sturdy frame with a handle for easy carrying and operation. It comes with a chrome-plated brass plumb bob for precise depth measurement. To use, apply water-finding paste or oil-finding paste to the bob and tape, then lower vertically into the tank. The depth is read at the point where the paste changes color, indicating the interface between oil and water or the liquid level. With a length of 30 meters (100 feet), this tape is suitable for a wide range of tank sizes.
