Product Description

The APEX 1293SF590N is an oil gauging tape designed for measuring fluid levels in storage tanks and fuel oil applications. It features a 50-foot steel blade with a Nubian finish and a D5 blade style, providing durability and consistent performance in field conditions. The blade measures 0.5 inches wide and is paired with a 590 bob cut, making this a purpose-built instrument for accurate manual tank gauging. This tool is typically used by fuel oil technicians, petroleum service professionals, and industrial maintenance personnel who require reliable depth measurement in storage tank environments.

This oil gauging tape is suited for petroleum storage tank measurement in both commercial and industrial settings. It is commonly deployed in fuel oil delivery operations, bulk fuel terminals, and on-site tank inventory applications where manual gauging is required. The compact housing measures 9.2 inches in overall length, making it manageable in confined service environments. Technicians working under API or industry standard gauging procedures will find this tape compatible with standard field gauging workflows.

Installation Notes

Oil gauging tapes are used by fuel oil and petroleum service technicians following industry-standard manual tank gauging procedures. Before gauging, ensure the tank is in a static condition and that all applicable safety protocols for flammable or combustible liquid environments are observed. The tape and bob should be lowered carefully to avoid agitating the fuel surface and to ensure an accurate reading. Follow applicable OSHA, NFPA, and API guidelines for confined space and flammable liquid safety when performing tank gauging operations.
