An ATG (Automatic Tank Gauge) system in a tanker truck is a crucial technology that monitors the level of liquid within the truck’s tanks in real-time. This system provides accurate and up-to-date information on the volume of the liquid being transported, ensuring efficient and safe operations.
How ATG Works in Tanker Trucks:
Probe Installation: Probes are installed in each tank of the tanker truck, reaching the bottom.
Level Measurement: The probes use technologies (hidrosatic) 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 digital gauge in the truck’s cab.
Level Calculation and Display: The system calculates the volume of the liquid in each tank and displays the information on a screen or sends it to a remote monitoring system.
Benefits of Using ATG in Tanker Trucks:
Accurate Inventory Management: Provides real-time data on liquid levels, preventing overfilling or underfilling.
Improved Efficiency: Optimizes loading and unloading processes, reducing downtime.
Enhanced Safety: Reduces the risk of spills and accidents by monitoring liquid levels.
Remote Monitoring: Allows for remote tracking of the truck’s location and cargo status.
Regulatory Compliance: Helps meet regulatory requirements for liquid transportation.
