Apex CN1296SF590N Oil Gauging Tape 100 Ft Steel

Product Description

The APEX CN1296SF590N is an Atlas Double Duty Oil Gauging Tape designed for accurate fluid level measurement in oil storage tanks and similar applications. The blade is 100 feet long, constructed from steel with a Chrome Clad/Nubian finish that resists corrosion and wear during repeated use in wet or oily environments. At 0.5 inches wide, the blade maintains rigidity during deployment while still retracting smoothly. The D1 blade style and 590 bob cut configuration make this tape suitable for professional gauging work where consistent, repeatable readings are required. It is the type of tool used daily by petroleum technicians, tank service contractors, and industrial maintenance personnel.

This oil gauging tape is suited for measuring liquid levels in vertical storage tanks, fuel oil tanks, and similar industrial or commercial vessels. The Atlas Double Duty design accommodates both innage and outage measurements, reducing the need to carry separate tapes for different gauging methods. The Chrome Clad/Nubian blade finish performs across a range of petroleum products and tank environments. It is sold as an individual unit and is appropriate for field service, terminal operations, and routine inventory gauging tasks.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use gauging tape for petroleum storage tank measurement applications where a 100-foot steel oil gauging tape with a 590 bob cut is specified.

Installation Notes

Oil gauging tapes are deployed by petroleum technicians and tank service professionals following applicable API gauging standards. Always verify the tank is safe to open before gauging, and follow site-specific confined space and flammable liquid procedures. The tape bob and blade should be inspected before each use for kinks, corrosion, or damage that could affect reading accuracy. Clean and dry the blade after use before retracting to extend service life.
