It is designed for gauging levels of hydrocarbons. It should always be applied “sparingly” direct onto a dip stick or dipping tape at about the point where the level is expected.

It is a one off action paste and repeat dips will require a fresh application of paste. Low levels of paste are miscible with hydrocarbons.The paste is not designed to be disturbed and should not be used in a sample.

It would be best practice that any tank/vessel being sampled for analysis be sampled first. Analytical results are only as accurate as the sample itself. Gauging of the tanks with paste used sparingly should be the secondary operation.
