Abstract

A gauging tape, comprising a flat double-sided tape including side one with a white background and black lettering and side two with a black background and white lettering. The lettering of the gauging tape is configured to be placed in a horizontal position on side one and side two in relation to the width of the gauging tape, wherein the flat double-sided tape comprises a plumb bob hook or a claw hook on one end. The gauging tape with horizontal markings can be used to gauge the level of fluid or oil in a container or for physical measurement such as pipe tallying.
