Automatic tank gauge systems, or ATG’s are excellent additions to your fleet’s maintenance program. An ATG is an electronic component placed within an above or below ground tank that monitors fuel or lubricant volume over time to assess whether the tank is leaking fluid.
Besides monitoring for leakage, Automatic tank monitoring systems are also instrumental in gauging fluid levels, usage based on volume, tank temperature and can alert operators with warnings when tank volumes are too high or have reached a critical low.
Additional functionality of an automatic tank gauge system allows for measurements of any gaps existing within the connections between tanks, pipes and hose lines, as well as the monitoring of system pressurization. Modern ATG’s are sophisticated monitoring systems that can be either wired or remotely accessed via a wireless modem.
