US TAPE

US TAPE is a manufacturer of precision measuring instruments for industrial liquid-level gauging and general linear measurement. The product line centers on oil gauging tapes, adhesive-backed tape measures, and plumb bobs, with a range of blade refills and accessories. These tools are used in tank farms, refineries, chemical storage facilities, and other operations where accurate determination of liquid depth is required. The gauging tapes are available in innage (liquid remaining) configurations, with blade lengths from 18 ft to 50 ft (approximately 5.5 m to 15 m). Blades are constructed from steel, often plated or corrosion-resistant, and feature metric and/or SAE graduations. Many models include a swivel snap tip for attaching a plumb bob or other weight, and some include a grounding strap for static dissipation. Plumb bobs are offered in round or cylindrical shapes, made from steel and stainless steel, with weights around 20.5 oz and a pointed end tip. Adhesive-backed tape measures provide metric or decimal graduations with millimeter subdivisions and 1 cm markings, reading right to left, in widths such as 1/2 in. These are used for precise linear measurement on machinery, fixtures, or work surfaces. 3G Electric supplies the US TAPE line globally, offering individual gauging tapes, refill blades, plumb bobs, and adhesive measures. The catalog includes both single-duty and double-duty gauging tapes, with options for dark liquids, light liquids, or both. Refill blades allow users to replace worn or damaged tape without replacing the entire reel assembly. 3G Electric supports technical buyers by providing detailed specifications, part numbers, and compatibility information to ensure correct selection for each application. Whether the requirement is a 25 ft innage tape for a storage tank or a 50 ft refill blade for an existing gauge, the US TAPE range covers common industrial measuring needs.

Common Applications

  • Petroleum storage tank farms — US TAPE innage gauging tapes (e.g., MPN 58846) for measuring remaining liquid depth in dark crude or fuel oils.
  • Chemical processing plants — US TAPE corrosion-resistant blade refills (e.g., MPN 58912) for maintaining gauging tapes used with light chemical liquids.
  • Aviation fuel depots — US TAPE double-duty gauging tapes (e.g., MPN 58850) with metric/SAE markings for inventory checks of light liquids.
  • Industrial machinery alignment — US TAPE adhesive-backed metric tape measures (MPN 50022) for precise linear measurement on work surfaces.
  • Tank gauging with plumb bobs — US TAPE round plumb bob (MPN 58890) attached to gauging tapes for accurate liquid-level determination.
  • Lubricant and oil storage — US TAPE single-duty gauging tapes (MPN 58811) for innage measurement of dark and light liquids in smaller tanks.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about US TAPE from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between US TAPE single-duty and double-duty oil gauging tapes?

US TAPE single-duty oil gauging tapes are designed for measuring liquid remaining (innage) in tanks containing either dark or light liquids, with a steel blade and swivel snap tip. Double-duty models, such as the 25 ft / 7.5 m (MPN 58846) and 50 ft / 15 m (MPN 58850) versions, feature double-sided markings that provide both Metric/SAE and Inch/Metric graduations. Double-duty tapes also include a grounding strap. Both types are available in various lengths and blade widths.

What lengths and graduations are available for US TAPE oil gauging tape blade refills?

US TAPE oil gauging tape blade refills are offered in 18 ft, 25 ft, and 50 ft lengths. The 18 ft refill (MPN 58912) has single-sided SAE inch markings and a swivel snap tip, suitable for innage measurement of dark and light liquids. The 25 ft refill (MPN 58914) also has SAE graduations and a corrosion-resistant steel blade. The 50 ft refill (MPN 58920) features single-sided SAE inch graduations on a gray blade. All refills are designed to replace worn blades in compatible US TAPE gauging tape reels.

What are the specifications of the US TAPE plumb bob for oil gauging tapes?

The US TAPE plumb bob (MPN 58890) is a round-bodied weight designed for use with oil gauging tapes. It is constructed from steel and stainless steel, with a pointed end tip. The overall height is 6 inches, and it weighs 20.5 ounces. The plumb bob attaches to the swivel snap tip of the gauging tape to help lower the blade through the liquid and provide a clear indication of the liquid level. It is suitable for both dark and light liquid applications.

What are the typical applications for US TAPE adhesive-backed tape measures?

US TAPE adhesive-backed tape measures, such as the metric model (MPN 50022), are used for precise linear measurement where a permanent or semi-permanent scale is needed. The steel tape has a 1/2 inch width and features millimeter graduations with 1 cm markings, reading right to left. These tapes can be adhered to work surfaces, machinery, or fixtures to provide a quick reference for measuring, layout, or alignment tasks. They are commonly used in fabrication, machining, and assembly operations.

How do I choose between a US TAPE gauging tape for dark liquids versus light liquids?

US TAPE gauging tapes are specified for dark liquids, light liquids, or both. Tapes for dark liquids typically have a blade finish or coating that enhances visibility when the tape is withdrawn from opaque or dark fluids. Tapes for light liquids may have different markings or blade treatments. Some models, like the 18 ft single-duty tape (MPN 58811), are suitable for both dark and light liquids. Selection depends on the fluid being measured and the required contrast for reading the graduations. Always verify the tape's compatibility with the specific liquid and tank conditions.
