Product Spotlights
Cangzhou Dean Safety & Special Tools Co., Ltd has been a trusted manufacturer of industrial measurement tools since 2001.

Whether you need to measure fuel, chemicals, or water, this sounding rod delivers reliable performance in demanding environments.
We understand that accurate inventory management and safety are critical in your operations.

Detailed Advantages & Customer Benefits
- Accurate measurement – The straight rod with clear markings (if ordered with scale) allows you to read liquid levels quickly and precisely, reducing measurement errors.

- Long service life – 304 stainless steel withstands repeated use and cleaning without rust or deformation, offering excellent value.
- Easy maintenance – Smooth surface resists buildup; simply wipe clean after use.
- Compliant documentation – The Mill Test Report provides full material traceability, helping you meet quality assurance and regulatory requirements.
- Flexible customisation – Lengths from 1m to 3m are available; we can also add scales in inches or centimeters per your request.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the Mill Test Report and why is it important?
The Mill Test Report (MTR) is a document from the material supplier that certifies the chemical composition and mechanical properties of the 304 stainless steel used. It ensures material traceability and compliance with industry standards, which is essential for quality audits and safety approvals. -
Can I use this rod for flammable liquids like gasoline or solvents?
304 stainless steel is not rated as non-sparking. For flammable environments, we recommend our specialized non-sparking (brass or aluminum bronze) sounding rods. Please contact us for the appropriate model. -
Does the rod come with measurement markings?
Standard version does not include markings, but we can add engraved or etched scales (metric or imperial) as an optional customization. Please specify when ordering. -
What is the diameter of the rod?
The standard diameter is 8mm (5/16 inch). Other diameters (6mm, 10mm) are available upon request. -
How is the ball tip attached? Can it come off?
The ball tip is welded seamlessly to the rod, forming a one-piece construction. It will not detach under normal use. -
What is the weight of the 2m rod?
Approximately 0.6 kg (1.3 lbs) depending on exact diameter. Lightweight for easy handling yet sturdy. -
Do you offer a certificate of calibration?
We provide the Mill Test Report as standard. Calibration certificates are available at additional cost; please inquire. -
How should I clean and maintain the rod?
Wipe with a soft cloth after each use. For stubborn residues, mild detergent and water are sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve surface finish.
