Marine Oil Gauging Tape - Steel Black, Metric & Inch, 15m/50'

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 steel with a black finish, providing excellent visibility and resistance to corrosion. It features dual graduations in both metric (meters) and imperial (inches/feet) scales, making it suitable for international use. The tape is housed in a sturdy frame with a handle for easy carrying and operation.

Each tape comes with a chrome-plated brass plumb bob (sounding weight) that ensures proper tension and accurate readings. To use, apply water-finding paste or oil-finding paste to the bob and lower section of the tape, then lower the tape vertically into the tank. The depth of water or oil is determined by the color change on the paste. With a length of 15 meters (50 feet), this tape is suitable for most marine tank measurement applications.

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 ship tanks. It is made of steel to resist corrosion and has a plumb bob to ensure vertical drop and accurate readings. The tape often features dual scales and is used with water-finding or oil-finding paste.

How do I use this oil gauging tape?

Apply water-finding or oil-finding paste to the plumb bob and the lower section of the tape. Lower the tape vertically into the tank until it touches the bottom. Wait a few seconds, then retrieve the tape. The depth of water or oil is indicated by the color change on the paste.

Is this tape suitable for both oil and water measurement?

Yes, this tape can be used to measure both oil and water depths. You need to use the appropriate finding paste (water-finding paste for water, oil-finding paste for oil) to detect the interface.

What length is available?

This specific model is 15 meters (50 feet) long, which is suitable for most marine tank applications. Other lengths may be available upon request.
