Apex C1293SF590N Atlas Chrome Clad Oil Gauging Tape 50 Ft

Product Description

The APEX C1293SF590N is an Atlas Chrome Clad oil gauging tape designed for accurate liquid-level measurement in fuel storage tanks and industrial vessels. The blade is constructed from steel with a chrome clad and Nubian finish, providing corrosion resistance and long service life in harsh petroleum environments. The 50-foot blade follows a D4 style profile and measures 0.5 inches in width, making it well-suited for standard tank gauging applications. A 590 bob cut is included to match common plumb-bob configurations used in tank service work. Licensed technicians and fuel-system service professionals use this tool for manual tank gauging during inventory checks, leak detection procedures, and compliance measurements.

This gauging tape is used in petroleum distribution, fuel storage facility maintenance, and industrial liquid-level measurement applications. It is appropriate for both aboveground storage tank (AST) work and select belowground gauging access points where manual dip measurement is required. Service technicians carrying out daily inventory reconciliation or regulatory compliance measurements will find the chrome clad blade finish practical in environments where fuel, water, and vapor exposure are routine.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard oil gauging tape for use with petroleum storage tanks and industrial vessels where manual liquid-level measurement is required, following D4 blade-style specifications.

Installation Notes

Oil gauging tapes are typically used by petroleum equipment technicians, fuel distribution professionals, and facility maintenance crews. Follow applicable API and OSHA guidelines when measuring flammable liquid storage tanks, including proper bonding and grounding procedures before inserting the tape into a tank. Inspect the blade and bob for damage before each use, and clean the tape after contact with fuel or water to preserve blade finish and graduation legibility. Never force the blade into a restricted gauging port.
