Product Description

The APEX 1290SF590N is an Atlas Nubian oil gauging tape designed for accurately measuring fluid levels in storage tanks, fuel oil tanks, and similar vessels. The tape features a 25-foot steel blade with a Nubian finish and a D5 blade style, making it well-suited for petroleum and fuel-oil gauging applications. The blade measures 0.5 inches in width and is paired with a 590 bob cut for reliable plumb readings at the end of the tape.

Installation Notes

Oil gauging tapes are deployed by fuel oil service technicians and petroleum measurement professionals. Before gauging, ensure the tank is not being filled or vented under pressure, and follow all applicable safety protocols for working around flammable fuels. Allow the bob to reach the tank bottom before reading the fluid mark on the blade at the tank opening reference point. Clean and dry the blade after each use to maintain the integrity of the Nubian finish and prolong blade life.
