An ATG (Automatic Tank Gauge) system is a device that monitors the level of liquid in a storage tank. It’s commonly used for fuel storage tanks but can be applied to various liquid storage applications.

How ATG Works with Storage Tanks:

Probe Installation: A probe is inserted into the tank, reaching the bottom.
Level Measurement: The probe uses different technologies (e.g., magnetostrictive, capacitance, radar, ultrasonic) to measure the distance from the probe’s top to the liquid surface.
Data Transmission: The measured level data is transmitted to a central control system or displayed on a local monitor.
Level Calculation and Display: The system calculates the volume of the liquid in the tank and displays the information on a screen or sends it to a remote monitoring system.

Benefits of Using ATG with Storage Tanks:

Accurate Inventory Management: Provides real-time data on liquid levels, preventing stockouts or overstocking.
Loss Prevention: Detects leaks and unauthorized withdrawals, minimizing losses.
Improved Efficiency: Automates inventory tracking, saving time and labor.
Remote Monitoring: Allows for remote monitoring of tank levels, enabling timely intervention.
Regulatory Compliance: Helps meet regulatory requirements for liquid storage and handling.
