Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this and a standard measuring tape?
This marine oil gauging tape is specifically designed for measuring liquid depths in ship tanks. It features a robust steel tape with a white coating for high visibility, dual metric/inch graduations, and a weighted plumb bob for accurate vertical descent. It is built to withstand harsh marine environments.
How do I use this tape for sounding?
Apply water-finding or oil-finding paste to the lower end of the tape and the plumb bob. 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. Read the measurement at the liquid level mark on the tape.
Is this tape suitable for use with corrosive liquids?
The tape is made of steel with a white coating, which provides some resistance, but it is primarily designed for petroleum products and water. For highly corrosive chemicals, a different material may be required. Always check compatibility with the liquid being measured.
What is the accuracy of this gauging tape?
The tape features clear metric and inch graduations. Accuracy depends on proper use and reading. The steel tape is designed to minimize stretching, ensuring reliable measurements. For precise results, ensure the tape is vertical and the plumb bob is in contact with the tank bottom.
