SIGMA’s AUGUST series Automatic Tank Gauges are designed to provide continuous liquid level measurement for bulk storage applications. The AUGUST is a float actuated instrument that provides continuous and reliable liquid level measurement, specifically engineered to reduce maintenance and enhance reliability.
In principle, the AUGUST utilizes a large stainless steel float that is attached to a perforated stainless steel tape to detect the liquid level. 
The float traces the liquid level rise and fall due to the constant pull-back tension force provided by a power spring. The precisely perforated tape 
engages pins on a sprocket drive wheel that in turn drives the measurement counter mechanism. The float is guided between the guide wires that are kept straight/kink free through the tension devices. Alternatively, still wells that shall guide the float can be used where there is no provision for guide wires. This simple, rugged design makes the gauge to perform with negligible maintenance throughout its working life.
