2. Fuel gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_gauge

   When the tank level is high and maximum current is flowing, the needle points to "F" indicating a full tank. When the tank is empty and the least current is flowing, the needle points to "E" indicating an empty tank; some vehicles use the indicators "1" (for full) and "0" (for empty) or "R" (for reserve) instead.

3. Custody transfer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custody_transfer

   Current volume of a product stored in a tank can be calculated using a tank capacity table (sometimes called "tank calibration table") and current levels and temperatures of a product in a tank. Tank capacity table stores data about level and appropriate volume in a tank and have a very high impact on overall accuracy of volume calculation.

4. Level sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

   For use in open air applications, where the sensor cannot be mounted to the bottom of the tank or pipe thereof, a special version of the hydrostatic pressure level sensor, a level probe, can be suspended from a cable into the tank to the bottom point that is to be measured. [3]

5. Instrumentation in petrochemical industries - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumentation_in...

   Level instrumentation determines the height of liquids by measuring the position of a gas/liquid or liquid/liquid interface within the vessel or tank. Such interfaces include oil/gas, oil/water, condensate/water, glycol/condensate, etc. Local indication (LI) includes sight glasses which show the liquid level directly through a vertical glass ...

6. Fuel-management systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel-management_systems

   Fuel-oil management system (FOMS) is a recent development in the field of electric power by which the fuel oil level in any power plant or any industry can be monitored and controlled using programmable logic controller and supervisory control and data acquisition. [2]

7. Dipstick - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipstick

   Using a dipstick to measure the amount of fuel remaining in a tank The lower end of an oil dipstick with markings for minimum and maximum oil levels. Dipsticks can also be used to measure the quantity of liquid in an otherwise inaccessible space, by inserting and removing the stick and then checking the extent of it covered by the liquid.

8. Floatstick - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floatstick

   A floatstick is a device to measure fuel levels in modern large aircraft. It consists of a closed tube rising from the bottom of the fuel tank. Surrounding the tube is a ring-shaped float, and inside it is a graduated rod indicating fuel capacity. The float and the top of the rod contain magnets.

9. Sight glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sight_glass

   Here the water is at the “top nut”, the maximum working level. Note the patterned backplate to help reading and toughened glass shroud. A sight glass or water gauge is a type of level sensor , a transparent tube through which the operator of a tank or boiler can observe the level of liquid contained within.
