Apex 58712N Plumb Bob Sae Metric 7.2 Inches Brass

Product Description

The APEX 58712N is a brass plumb bob designed for SAE and metric measurement applications, with a measuring range of 0 to 6 inches (0 to 150 millimeters). Machined in a square profile, this plumb bob measures 7.2 inches in overall length, 1.2 inches wide, and 1.1 inches tall, and weighs 1.27 pounds. It is purpose-built for outage oil gauging work, making it a practical tool for trade professionals who need accurate vertical reference and fluid-level measurement in tanks and vessels. The brass construction resists corrosion in wet and petroleum environments.

This plumb bob is suited for use in outage oil gauging applications where a durable, corrosion-resistant bob is required. It is appropriate for use in refineries, fuel storage facilities, and industrial tank measurement scenarios. The SAE and metric dual-scale capability allows technicians to work across both measurement systems without switching tools. Licensed trades and calibration technicians performing tank gauging or vertical alignment work will find this tool fits standard gauging line setups.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this plumb bob typically involves attaching it to a calibrated gauging line and lowering it into a tank opening to establish a vertical reference or measure outage depth. Always verify the tank or vessel is depressurized and safe to access before use. This tool is commonly used by instrumentation technicians and tank gaugers following applicable industry safety standards. Keep the brass tip clean and free of debris to maintain accurate readings.
