This European Standard applies to gauges suitable for use at ambient tempera¬tures and subject to normal operational pressure variations.
Gauging of liquefied gases are not covered by this standard.
This European Standard relates to the measurement of product level, measurement of product temperature and detection of the presence of free water. The detection of free water may be compromised for Alcohol blended fuels.
NOTE 1 This standard is not intended to cover safety functionalities (i.e. overfill prevention, leak detection, etc.). Further Standards apply.
