Apex CN1295SMEN Oil Gauging Tape 75 Ft Steel D3

Product Description

The APEX CN1295SMEN is an Atlas Double Duty Oil Gauging Tape designed for accurate liquid-level measurement in tanks and storage vessels. The tape features a 75-foot steel blade with a chrome clad and Nubian finish, providing corrosion resistance and durability in wet and oily environments. The D3 blade style and 0.5-inch blade width make it suitable for precision gauging applications. A plumb bob is included, cut to specification 587-1/2, allowing technicians to determine both surface level and tank bottom in a single drop. This tool is used by field technicians and service professionals who require reliable, repeatable measurement in fuel storage and oil distribution environments.

The CN1295SMEN is suited for oil gauging operations at above-ground storage tanks, bulk fuel facilities, and similar industrial liquid measurement applications. The dual-duty design allows measurement of both the oil column and the water cut below it, making it practical for tank inventory work where accurate product and water separation readings are required. The tape is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for routine gauging rounds or field service use.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard oil gauging tape for use with conventional tank gauging operations requiring a 75-foot steel blade with D3-style double-duty capability.

Installation Notes

Oil gauging tapes are deployed by tank gaugers and field service technicians following standard API or site-specific gauging procedures. Before taking a measurement, verify the bob is secure and the blade feeds freely from the case without kinks or binding. Never allow the tape blade to snap back rapidly, as this can damage the chrome finish and affect measurement accuracy. Follow all applicable site safety protocols when working around flammable liquid storage, including grounding requirements and no-ignition-source rules.
