Apex CN1290SMEN Atlas Double Duty Oil Gauging Tape 26 Ft

Product Description

The APEX CN1290SMEN is an Atlas Double Duty oil gauging tape designed for accurate liquid-level measurement in fuel storage tanks and similar applications. The blade is constructed from steel with a Chrome Clad/Nubian finish that resists corrosion in wet, petroleum-based environments. At 26 feet in length and 0.5 inches in width, the tape accommodates a wide range of tank depths commonly encountered in commercial and industrial fuel management work. The D3 blade style and 590 bob cut make this a purpose-built tool for field technicians who require consistent, reliable readings during tank gauging operations.

This oil gauging tape is suited for use by fuel system technicians, petroleum equipment service professionals, and facilities maintenance crews working with above-ground or underground storage tanks. It is a practical hand tool for routine tank inventory checks, compliance measurements, and fuel delivery verification. The Chrome Clad/Nubian dual-finish blade allows both ullage and innage readings, supporting standard industry gauging procedures without requiring multiple tools on the job.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Oil gauging tapes are handled by petroleum equipment technicians and tank service professionals following applicable API and OSHA guidelines for fuel storage system work. Always de-energize any associated pumping or monitoring equipment before opening tank access ports for measurement. Keep the blade clean and free of debris to ensure accurate readings and proper reel function. Inspect the bob and blade tip for wear before each use to maintain measurement integrity.
