Understanding the connected oil tank gauge
What is a connected gauge and how does it work?
A fuel gauge is an smart sensor that provides know in real time the oil level in your tank. It works on a simple principle: the sensor measures the height of the liquid inside the tankconverts this information into volumethen transmits it via an IoT network network to a mobile interface or a web platform.
Thanks to this technology data accessible at any time: you can track your consumptionanticipate your needs, and avoid breakdowns. In Belgium, this type of connected solution is perfectly suited to both domestic and professional installations.
💡 Myth vs. reality
A connected gauge doesn’t just display the level: it analyzes the data to anticipate needs.
Technologies used: ultrasonic, pressure, IoT and ATEX sensors
Our connected gauges adapt to every type of oil tank or vatwith a wide choice of measurement technologies and IoT networks.
They are suitable for individuals and professionalsand can be fitted to tanks for fuel oil, GNR, water, gas or biofuelsincluding in ATEX (environments.)
Need an ATEX solution? Four data offers a range of tank-compatible sensors, ATEX tank as well as gas meter.
→ ideal for kerosene, sp98 sp 95,LPG, propane, butane etc!
Installation and compatibility with different types of tanks
In 70% of cases, installingan intelligent tank gauge requires no special technical skills.
Simply screw screw the sensor onto the existing orifice, start it upand then connect to the mobile application.
Visit Four Data solutions are compatible with the majority of tanks steel, plastic or concrete tanks, whether underground or above-groundand are also suitable for gas tanks and ATEX environments.
