Since then, feedback from our clients has been great. This tape is made of PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride), which is an extremely durable and stain-resistant material. It is also highly chemical resistant. The tape&#8217;s design makes it high in tensile strength and electrical efficiency \u2013 which is very advantageous for deep well applications using longer tape lengths.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_937\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/onthelevel-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/101-P7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-937\" class=\"wp-image-937 size-medium\" src=\"\/onthelevel-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/101-P7-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Model 101 P7 Water Level Meter with Laser Marked PVDF Tape\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solinst.com\/onthelevel-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/101-P7-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.solinst.com\/onthelevel-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/101-P7-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.solinst.com\/onthelevel-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/101-P7-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.solinst.com\/onthelevel-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/101-P7-624x624.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.solinst.com\/onthelevel-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/101-P7.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-937\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Model 101 P7 Water Level Meter with Laser Marked PVDF Flat Tape<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This tape is used for our <a title=\"Model 101 Water Level Meters\" href=\"\/products\/level-measurement-devices\/101-water-level-meter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Model 101 Water Level Meters<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solinst.com\/products\/level-measurement-devices\/101d-water-level-drawdown-meter\/101d.php\">Model 101D Water Level DrawDown Meter<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"Model 107 TLC Meter - Temperature, Level, Conductivity\" href=\"\/products\/level-measurement-devices\/107-tlc-meter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Model 107 TLC Meter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solinst.com\/products\/level-measurement-devices\/201-water-level-temperature-meter\/201.php\">201 Water Level Temperature Meter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solinst.com\/products\/level-measurement-devices\/105-well-casing-depth-indicator\/105.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">105 Well Casing &amp; Depth Indicator<\/a>, and our Model <a title=\"Model 122 Interface Meters\" href=\"\/products\/level-measurement-devices\/122-interface-meter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">122 Interface Meters<\/a>.

PVDF replacement tapes come with the same tape seal plug, which can connect any of the probes (Model 101 P7, 105, 107 TLC, 201 WLT or 122 P8). This is extremely handy for companies that rent Solinst equipment or companies that use multiple Solinst Meters.
