Load cell assembly for silo, tank and vessel weighing
[Click image to enlarge]
The VC3500 family of load cells are available in capacities ranging from 2,000kg to 200,000kg.
They are especially suitable for high capacity vessel weighing and feature a combined error
specification of < +/- 0.05%.
The critical sensor element of the VC3500 unit is a fully welded double ended shear beam,
manufactured from high tensile 17-4 PH released stainless steel, heat treated to give a high
ultimate tensile strength. This treatment provides an extremely stable platform for the
strain gauges. In common with all Thames Side Sensors load cells, the strain gauged element is
temperature compensated to ensure accuracy throughout a wide temperature range.
Stainless steel diaphragms are TIG welded in position to provide total environmental sealing.
This method of construction allows Thames Side Sensors to offer a five year warranty on the
complete unit.
