Varec Float & Tape Tank Gauges use mechanical float-and-tape instruments to measure liquid level in bulk storage tanks.
As the product level rises or falls, a float follows the liquid surface and transfers movement through a tape or cable mechanism to an external counter, indicator tube, or gaugeboard.
The solution may be configured for tank-side indication alone or paired with compatible transmitters and spot temperature sensing when electronic level data, temperature data, or control-room integration is required.

Gauge, installation kit, transmitter, and sensor selections depend on the tank type, service pressure, stored liquid, and communication requirements.
Key Characteristics
- Mechanical float-and-tape or float-and-cable liquid-level measurement
- Tank-side indication using a dial-and-counter gauge head, clear indicator tube, or gauge board
- Configurations for atmospheric, low-pressure, and high-pressure bulk storage tanks
- Installation options for fixed-roof, floating-roof, bolted, spherical, and horizontal cylindrical tanks, depending on the selected model
- Optional electronic level transmission and spot temperature integration using compatible Varec components
Ideal Applications
- Measuring liquid level in bulk storage tanks
- Providing tank-side level indication without requiring a powered local display
- Gauging fixed-roof, floating-roof, bolted, spherical, or horizontal cylindrical tanks with the appropriate model and installation kit
- Transmitting mechanical tank-gauge data to a control room through a compatible Float & Tape Transmitter
- Integrating liquid-level and spot-temperature measurements for inventory-management calculations
