A striker or doubler plate is a flat, durable surface typically installed at the bottom of a tank or similar structure.
Primary Function: It provides a consistent and stable landing surface for the sounding bob, the weighted end of a tank sounding tape used to measure the depth of liquid.
Why It’s Important:
Ensures accurate measurements by preventing the sounding bob from landing on uneven surfaces (e.g., tank bottom irregularities).
Protects the tank bottom from potential damage due to repeated impacts of the sounding bob.
Improves longevity and reliability of measurement equipment.
