The Petrotag system takes the following readings with only one probe.

Mass, Temperature, Inventory Level, Density, Volume, Height and Water Level.

The system consists of a controller located on the edge of the tank farm, with probes in one or more tanks. The measurements and calculations are then exported and stored on the onsite computer.

This data can also be sent to remote computers and exterior displays. The controller is located
outside of the hazardous area, and all the cabling is explosion proof.

The tank gauging industry is currently regulated by C.S.A. We are audited by the quarterly and maintain all of our approvals.
