Load Cell solves high accuracy Weighbridge problems.
Variohm EuroSensors are now able to offer weighbridge
manufacturers and their customers, the possibility to weigh,
under current EU legislation, high capacity vehicles to the
accuracy only previously available under the "old" national
or system methods.
Although recent advantages in electronics have resulted in extremely
high performance from indicators, load cells have to date been the
limiting factor, resulting in weighbridges offering only moderate
performance. Most weighbridges in the UK and Ireland are, for example,
installed with a maximum capacity of 50 tonnes and a division size of
20kg ( i.e.1:2500)
The Revere ASC series is an analogue single column compression load
cell that has just been granted OIML R60 approval to C6. This enables
its use in 50t or 60t weighbridges that can be calibrated and verified,
under Council Directive 30/984/EEC for Non Automatic Weighing
Instruments, with an accuracy of 10kg. This has proven popular for
customers whose product was of high value, such as foodstuffs or
metals, or where the traffic included smaller vehicles, with lower weights.
The 200mm high design of the ASC and self-aligning set, make it
suitable for use in new surface-mounted and pit-mounted weighbridges,
as well as for retrofit applications.
The ASC is of hermetically sealed, stainless steel construction and is,
therefore, fully suited to the aggressive environments found in these
applications. Ingress protection ratings of IP66 and IP68 ensure that
it will withstand immersion in water as well as the influence of high
pressure cleaning.
