Lufkin

For over a century, Lufkin tapes have been recognized as the standard for accuracy and high quality.
Lufkin steel tapes are manufactured to government standards traceable to the U.S. Department of Commerce,
National Institute of Standards and Technology. Periodically, these standards are recalibrated with renewed
certification by the N.I.S.T.
LUFKIN TAPE CERTIFICATION AND ISO
Many end-users are registering for ISO certification. If they use measuring tapes as part of their production
processes, it is advisable to establish procedures requiring the use of a certified tape as a master.
Lufkin provides selected certified tapes in excess of 50 for standard charges (which include the purchase price
of the tape). Short tapes are not calibrated, but are checked for accuracy. Lufkins test procedures are traceable
to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Prices and available certified tapes are available from
Apex Tool Groups Technical Services Department.

Oil Gauging

Lufkin

Chrome Clad for dark (heavy oils)

Nubian for light (clear oils)
Double Duty oil gauging tapes with both Chrome Clad and
Nubian (black) for dark (heavy) and light (clear) oils
Made of heavy gauge 1/2 (13mm) x .012 (0.3mm) steel
Snap-swivel hook on front end of tape for a plumb bob
Two arm frames for shorter lengths; four arm frames for 30m/100 and greater
Large drums and winding handles for quick and easy rewinding
Handle folds over for storage and to lock line at extended position
Plumb bobs are not supplied with tapes. The last part of the catalog number denotes the
style of the bob the tape is made to accept. Lufkin oil gauging tapes and plumb bobs are
manufactured to meet the applicable specifications outlined in the National Institute of
Standards and Technology Handbook 44, 2011 Edition, Section 5.52. Manufacturing
tolerances for final measurement comply with API MPMS Second Edition, August 2005,
Chapter 3, Section 1A, Appendix 1.2.
1. Never gauge a tank during an electrical storm.
2. Ground yourself and your tools by touching the tank ladder before climbing the ladder.
Do not wear gloves when grounding yourself. Gloves prevent proper grounding.
3. Ground yourself before opening the gauging hatch by touching the handrail or platform
(without gloves on). During and after removal of the gauging cover, stand so that the gas
will not be inhaled. Wear a gas mask if toxic gases are present.
4. Always maintain contact between the gauging tape and the edge of the hatch from the
moment the gauge bob enters the hatch until the gauge bob is removed from the hatch.

Oil Gauging
It takes more than a quality gauging tape, it takes a smart user. Every time you use a
Lufkin oil gauging tape, follow proper grounding techniques. Ground your body. Ground
your gear. And always use a grounding strap. Lufkin oil gauging tapes come complete
with a grounding strap and an ESD handle, and are in full compliance with all current and
proposed American Petroleum Institute standards. Achieve a solid ground every time. Use
Lufkin oil gauging tapes, and follow proper grounding procedures.

How to Measure an Inage Plumb Bob

Tapes cut and fitted with the swivel snap to be used with the 588 and 590 plumb-bobs are
known as inage gauging tapes. When the plumb bobs are assembled to the swivel snap
the zero point is at the bottom of the plumb bob. When being used, the plumb bob and
tape are lowered until the bob contacts the bottom of the tank. When the tape is reeled in,
the liquid line is read on the tape line itself, thereby showing you the contents of the tank.

known as outage tapes. When the 5871/2 plumb bob is assembled to the tape line the zero
point is at the intersection of the swivel snap and the plumb bob. When using outage gauging
tapes the tape is lowered into the tank until the plumb bob just penetrates the liquid. The tape
is then rewound and the liquid level is read right off the plumb bob. The reading on the plumb
bob is added to the tape reading giving the total outage (how much liquid has been removed
from the tank).

SURVEYING TAPES

Steel Tape Line Accuracy

Lufkin

Lufkin steel tapes are made to government standards. Our bench standards for the United States are certified accurate by the
United States Department of Commerce, N.I.S.T. Tapes for Canada are made to Canadian government standards.
Temperature standard for steel tapes is 68F, which equals 20C. Coefficient of ex pansion of steel tapes is 0.00000645 per
degree F; 0.0000116 per degree C. This amounts to 0.000645 or 0.00774 per degree F. on a 100 tape, and one-half as much
on a 50 tape. As a figure that is reasonably accurate and also easy to handle, it is customary on very long runs of pipe to allow
1/10 per 100 for each 10 change.

The above illustration shows, for a 100 tape, the actual length variations of temperature within the range of 20 below to 120
above zero F. The terminal graduation on the lower edge is at 68, this being standard temperature. Standard tension for steel
tapes 25 to 100 long (10 to 30m) supported entire length on a horizontal, flat surface, is 10 pounds (4.5 kg.); for all tapes over
100, 20lbs., (9kg.). For steel tapes suspended horizontally and
supported only at ends, there can be no set or standard tension for accuracy because of weight and other variations.
The following listings are averages of many tests made by the N.I.S.T. of Lufkin steel tapes supported throughout and supported
ends only. These averages are taken from the experience of tests and should be used as a working basis only, and not to
replace the test of any individual tape. All tape lengths are 100.

NOTE: Temperature and tension need to be taken into account

only on precise work. We recommend a government test of
tapes to be used for such work or for use as master standard.
The N.I.S.T. and Lufkin have a charge for this test.

chance of error
Graduated one side, in black, inches to 1/16ths both edges
Other side in red, 45 scale inches to 1/16ths upper edge only
Turning rule from black to red gives the corresponding
45 elbow measurement
Example: Sketch at right shows 10 45 offset; by turning
rule at 10 graduation on standard
inch side red graduation directly
opposite indicates center-to-center
fittings to be 14 1/8 Actual pipe length
varies as allowances must be made for
type of pipe and fitting used. All other
size offsets are calculated in same
manner. Where offset is longer than
length of rule, add 45 scale
measurement of extra distance to
last scale on rule (101-13/16).

Using the Lufkin Red End 636 Brick Masons Rule is
easy and fast. For instructions on the 656, see below.
To take a measurement when mortar thickness is known:
As an example, assume mortar thickness is 1/2 and
the average thickness of brick is 2 1/4. Added they
would give a 2 3/4 course. Simply place your thumbnail
on the edge of the rule at 2 3/4, turn over to the
other side, and your thumbnail will be on the scale 6 mark.
This is the correct scale to use under the above conditions.
The illustration at left shows how easy it is to check the
wall as it is being laid. Correct readings from the top edge
of bricks are at scale 6. This rule speeds up correct scaling
when an open space is to be bricked. There is but one
simple operation when only space is known. Just measure
the space with the scale side of the rule to the closest
scale mark. This will give you the correct scale to use. For
instance, assume that a space 37 is to be bricked.
Using the Brick Masons scale side of the rule to measure,
the 37 figure falls between scale 4 and scale 8.
Checking both these scales, by the previously described
thumbnail method, at the starting end of the rule, it is found
that scale 4 is equal to 2 5/8 and scale 8 is equal to
2 7/8. If the brick to be used averages 2 1/2, scale
4 would allow 1/8 joint and scale 8 a 3/8 joint. The
more satisfactory of these two size joint thicknesses can
be selected for the job. The brick industry is using more

and more oversize brick (also referred to as queen or

king size brick). The estimates are about 40% of the brick
sold is oversize. These bricks have a height of 2 3/4 vs. 2
1/4 for the standard or modular brick. Due to the number
of requests from brick masons, we now offer the new #656
brick mason wood rule. The #656 rule has brick spacings at
2 7/8ths and go to 3 1/2 in 1/16 increments. The brick
spacings will be identified by black letters A through K.
Letters are used to prevent confusion with spacings shown
on #636. The #656 rule is painted yellow compared to
white for the #636.
