Apex CN1293SMEF59N Oil Gauging Tape 50 Ft Steel

Product Description

The APEX CN1293SMEF59N is an Atlas Double Duty Oil Gauging Tape designed for measuring fluid levels in storage tanks, fuel tanks, and similar industrial vessels. The blade is 50 feet long and constructed from steel with a Chrome Clad and Nubian finish, giving it durability against the corrosive conditions common in petroleum gauging environments. The blade style is D3 with a width of 0.5 inches, and it includes a Bob Cut 590 plumb bob. At 2.3 pounds, the unit is compact enough for field use by tank gaugers, fuel service technicians, and industrial maintenance personnel.

This tape is suited for oil gauging applications in above-ground storage tanks, truck tanks, and bulk fuel storage systems where accurate dip measurements are required. The double-duty design allows the tape to function in both oil and water-finding applications. Typical users include petroleum service technicians, tank inspection professionals, and industrial maintenance crews who need reliable, repeatable tank level readings in the field or at fixed facilities.

Installation Notes

Deployment and retrieval of oil gauging tapes should follow applicable API gauging standards and site safety protocols. Always de-energize or isolate ignition sources near open tank hatches before lowering the tape, as petroleum vapors may be present. The tape and bob should be cleaned and inspected before each use to prevent contamination between tanks or measurement errors. Proper training in tank gauging procedures is recommended before use in regulated petroleum storage environments.
