Tank Gauges
Tank Gauge Overview
Gauging Systems Inc. (GSI) manufactures a variety of level / mass tank gauges
for measuring liquid products within storage tanks.
Tank gauges are categorized by the measurement accuracy of the instrument, i.e.,
Custody Transfer, Inventory, or Process measurement. The determination of the
instruments accuracy is based upon metrology (laboratory) testing in adherence
to metrology standards, such as API, ISO, GOST, OIML, etc.
Note: There is no metrology standard that completely covers the installation of
all technologies, on all physical tank types, using all types of product, and
all forms of tank operation for level measurement, let alone volume measurement
using either Hybrid or Hydrostatic Methods. Other system accuracy errors due to
limitations of interface & communications equipment (signal processing
resolution), and software (data processing resolution and data conversion
algorithms) have not been fully addressed.
Other factors to consider include; required data, reliability, physical tank
accessibility when installing instruments (infrastructure required), power and
signal requirements (electrical & conduit), maintenance requirements,
calibration procedures, integration, and additional benefits that can equate to
economic gain (Safety, Environmental, QA, etc.).
Gauging Systems Inc. provides a wide range of instruments and experienced
engineers who can help you select the best instrument for your application.
