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

This marine oil gauging tape, commonly referred to as an ullage tape or sounding tape, is an essential tool for accurately measuring the depth of oil, water, or other liquids in ship tanks. The tape features a durable steel white tape with clear metric and inch graduations, ensuring precise readings in both measurement systems. It comes with a chrome-plated brass plumb bob for reliable soundings.

Constructed with a robust steel tape housed in a sturdy frame with a handle, this gauging tape is designed for easy handling and portability on board. The tape length of 15 meters (50 feet) is suitable for most marine tank applications. To use, apply water-finding paste or oil-finding paste to the plumb bob and tape, then lower vertically into the tank. The depth is determined by the color change on the paste, indicating the interface between water and oil or the liquid level.

Ideal for ship chandlers, marine engineers, and deck officers, this oil gauging tape meets the demands of daily tank soundings and inspections. Its dual scale eliminates the need for conversion, saving time and reducing errors.
