Accurate and reliable level measurement is essential in managing bulk liquids, especially in industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, and tank farm operations. Modern servo tank gauges go beyond simple level detection—they now offer integrated temperature and interface measurement, delivering a comprehensive, real-time view of tank contents for enhanced operational control and regulatory compliance.
Key Advantages
1. Multi-Point Temperature Sensing
Integrated temperature probes (typically 3–5 points) provide an accurate temperature profile, essential for volume correction based on thermal expansion.
2. Product-Interface Detection
Servo gauges with interface capability detect emulsion layers or water bottoms, enabling precise stratification analysis in storage tanks—critical for product quality and regulatory reporting.
3. Reduced Installation Footprint
Combining functions into one gauge minimizes tank penetration and reduces maintenance complexity.
4. High Accuracy and Repeatability
Servo tank gauges offer measurement accuracy up to ±0.4 mm, suitable for custody transfer, inventory audits, and blending operations.
5. Compatibility with Tank Management Systems
Fully integrable with inventory and automation platforms, enabling real-time data acquisition, alarming, and analytics.
Typical Applications
Crude oil and refined product terminals
Petrochemical storage facilities
Marine loading and unloading systems
Floating and fixed roof tanks
Tank farms with product layering or water contamination concerns
Compliance and Safety
Servo tank gauges with integrated measurement capabilities help meet international standards such as API, OIML R85, and ISO 4266, ensuring traceability and regulatory compliance in custody transfer and inventory reporting.
Additionally, these gauges are available in explosion-proof and intrinsically safe versions for use in hazardous zones.
Servo tank gauges with integrated temperature and interface measurement are more than just level indicators—they are intelligent measurement systems designed to optimize tank operations, ensure accuracy in high-value transactions, and enhance safety. By choosing these advanced instruments, facilities gain greater insight, higher efficiency, and long-term cost savings in liquid storage management.
