LOAD CELL

Product Description

Key Characteristics and Specifications

• Capacity: 22.5 kg (or similar low capacities, as admixtures are used in small amounts). Some manufacturers may offer a range, e.g., 22.5 kg to 95 kg, but the 22.5 kg is specifically for smaller, precise dosing.
• Material: for corrosion resistance, given the chemical nature of admixtures and the harsh environment of a concrete plant.

• Type:
  • Single-Ended Shear Beam: Common for hopper scales and tank weighing, where the load is applied at one end of the beam.

  • Single-Point Bending Beam: Ideal for platform scales, as it provides accurate readings regardless of the load position on the platform.

  • S-Type Load Cell: Can also be used for both tension and compression, though less common for small admixture weighing.

• Accuracy: Crucial for admixture applications. Look for high accuracy classes (e.g., C3 or higher, often expressed as a percentage of Full Scale Output - FSO). This ensures minimal deviation between the measured and true values. Admixture dispensers often require accuracy within 0.1% of the maximum weight.
• Output Sensitivity (Nominal Output): 0.03% FSO over 30 minutes) is important for maintaining accuracy during dispensing cycles.
