The plumb bob. with its easy-to-read, fractionally-marked tape, reels out of the Sounding Tape Gun into a hollow nonferrous tube or pipe which is mounted within a tank (Gems-supplied, flange-mounted tube or pipe can be used for primary system gauging.) Powered by a 9 Volt battery, the unit features a magnetic float which rides with the liquid level and interfaces with a rood switch within the plumb bob to provide physical sounding for accurate ullage readout. In closed-loading gauging the use of the Sound- ing Tape prevents noxious fumes and vapors from being released into the atmosphere.
