Is automatic tank gauging available for both tanks and piping systems?

Automatic tank gauging (ATG) systems are primarily designed to monitor the liquid levels in underground storage tanks. These systems utilize sensors that provide continuous monitoring and help detect leaks, measure inventory, and track changes in product levels.

While there are methods and technologies available for monitoring piping systems, traditional ATG systems do not typically apply to them in the same fashion. The gauging capabilities for piping usually involve leak detection systems that operate differently from those used for tank monitoring.

As a result, the correct understanding is that automatic tank gauging is specifically intended for tanks, emphasizing its role in ensuring safety and regulatory compliance related to fuel storage. Thus, stating that ATG is available only for tanks is accurate, as it reflects the standard application of these systems.
