US TAPE

US TAPE is a brand specializing in precision measurement tools for industrial and commercial applications, with a particular focus on gauging tapes and adhesive-backed measuring devices. The brand is recognized for its durable steel blades, corrosion-resistant finishes, and clear graduation markings that support accurate readings in demanding environments. US TAPE products are designed for tasks such as liquid-level measurement in storage tanks (innage and outage), as well as general-purpose measuring where adhesive mounting is practical. The product line includes oil gauging tape blade refills, complete gauging tape assemblies, and adhesive tape measures available in both SAE (inch) and metric scales. Key technical attributes include single-sided or double-sided blades, ring or swivel snap tips, grounding straps for static discharge in flammable environments, and color-coded blades (gray) for visibility. US TAPE gauging tapes are rated for use with dark or light liquids, and the steel construction provides resistance to corrosion and wear. The adhesive tape measures are offered in various lengths and reading directions (left-to-right or right-to-left), with increments as fine as 1/16 inch or 1 cm, and overall widths such as 1/2 inch. 3G Electric stocks 47 SKUs of US TAPE products, including refill blades and complete tapes, with datasheets available for specification verification. The brand does not claim specific IP ratings or certifications beyond standard industrial durability; its value lies in consistent, field-proven design for liquid gauging and surface-mounted measurement. For procurement specialists and plant engineers, US TAPE provides a reliable source of replacement blades and complete tapes that meet common industry requirements for tank-level monitoring and dimensional marking. 3G Electric supports global logistics for these items, ensuring availability for maintenance and operations teams worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about US TAPE from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between innage and outage gauging tapes from US TAPE?

Innage tapes measure the liquid remaining in a tank (depth from the bottom), while outage tapes measure the empty space above the liquid (ullage). US TAPE offers both types: innage tapes typically have a swivel snap tip for attaching a plumb bob, and outage tapes use a ring tip for hooking onto the tank rim. The blade graduations are marked accordingly, with innage tapes reading from the tip upward and outage tapes reading from the top down. Both are available in steel with corrosion-resistant coatings for use with dark or light liquids.

Are US TAPE oil gauging refill tapes compatible with other brands of tape frames?

US TAPE refill blades are designed to fit standard oil gauging tape frames, but compatibility depends on the frame's width, thickness, and winding mechanism. The refills are typically 1/2 inch wide steel blades with a specific hub size. For best results, use US TAPE refills with US TAPE frames or verify dimensions against your existing frame. 3G Electric can provide datasheets with blade width and thickness specifications to assist with compatibility checks.

What does the corrosion-resistant feature on US TAPE gauging tapes mean?

US TAPE corrosion-resistant blades are coated or treated to withstand exposure to petroleum products, moisture, and mild chemicals encountered in tank gauging environments. The steel blade is typically finished with a gray coating that resists rust and degradation from hydrocarbons. This extends the service life of the tape in outdoor or industrial settings where contact with liquids is frequent. The coating does not affect the accuracy of the graduations.

Can US TAPE adhesive tape measures be used on curved surfaces?

Yes, US TAPE adhesive-backed tape measures are flexible and can conform to curved surfaces such as pipes, tanks, or machinery. The steel construction provides rigidity for straight measurements but allows bending around radii. The adhesive backing is designed for permanent or semi-permanent mounting on clean, dry surfaces. For best adhesion, apply to surfaces free of oil, dust, or rust. The tapes are available in left-to-right or right-to-left reading directions to suit installation orientation.

What is the purpose of the grounding strap on US TAPE Double Duty oil gauging tapes?

The grounding strap on US TAPE Double Duty oil gauging tapes provides a conductive path to dissipate static electricity that can build up during tape insertion into tanks containing flammable liquids. This reduces the risk of spark ignition. The strap is typically attached to the tape frame and connects to a known ground point. This feature is specified for use with dark liquids where static discharge is a concern. The tape itself is steel, which is conductive, and the strap ensures a reliable ground connection.

Does 3G Electric supply US TAPE products?
