Generally of the Automatic Tank Gauging System
Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) system consists of Magnetostrictive Probe and Smart
Console, it is an electronic device, whose basic function is to monitor the fuel level in the tank. It can also tell the operator what is going on inside the tank. In other words, it gives us very important information like fuel level, volume and temperature, water level and volume, high and low fuel level warnings etc. There are different plans to satisfy different customers according to their effective demands.
