Automatic Tank Gauging Systems and Underground Storage Tanks
Automatic tank gauging (ATG) systems are used to monitor product levels and detect leaks in underground storage tanks. Many tank operators use ATG systems as the primary method of leak detection and inventory monitoring, as they are both highly accurate and convenient to use. Learn more about how ATGs work, and how
The Principles of Level Measurement FierceElectronics
Hydrostatic Tank Gauging. One growing, specialized application for systems that involve hydrostatic measurements is hydrostatic tank gauging (HTG). It is an emerging standard way to accurately gauge liquid inventory and to monitor transfers in tank farms and similar multiple tank storage facilities.

Common Tank Gauging Technologies and How They Work Varec
Two types of measurement methods are used for tank gauging: volume or mass based. In a volume based system, level is measured. In a mass based system, the measurement of the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column is used. Varec’s radar tank gauges are suitable for most bulk storage tank applications to provide inventory management
