High performance weighing
How many of us have thought about trying to get 200,000 miles out of that one sturdy car we just knew could do it if we took care of it well enough? It's not unheard of Now imagine getting 400,000 miles from that car. Crazy? Maybe. But that's the kind of per- formance manufacturers need — and are demanding — from their weigh- ing systems. And it's not so crazy. "Users are looking for ...

How often should you calibrate your scales?
Weighing plays an integral part in a wide variety of industrial processes. A typical weighing system consists of a weight controller, a load sensor–based scale, and a programmable logic controller (PLC). To be reliable and accurate, weighing systems must be calibrated. But how often is enough? Old weighing systems included dials and pivots, springs, counterbalances, or levers, which ...

Which is better, three or four load points?
It is a commonly asked question: Is it better to use three or four load points on a scale? In theory, you can use any number of load points (load cells) to support a vessel. The actual number used is dependent upon these factors: The vessel’s geometry (shape and number of supports). The vessel’s gross weight (both live and dead weight). The vessel’s structural strength. ...

Summary Of The Self-Loading Concrete Mixer
Self-loading concrete mixers are equipment that self-loads aggregates, blends concrete, weighs the batch, and places the concrete where it is actually required. They are stand-alone machines that complete concrete mixing tasks that only demand one worker to work this type of machine. Self-loading concrete mixers are unique machines that happen to be mainly used in construction sectors throughout ...

Scale calibration techniques: which method is right for you?
To achieve optimum performance of an electronic weighing system, accurate calibration of the system and correct selection of the load sensors, mount- ing hardware, and other installation assemblies are essential. During installation, the accuracy of the system may be affected by external factors such as restraints caused by the addition of process piping, surrounding equipment such as motors and ...

Measuring level by weight
Measuring level or inventory by weight provides high accuracy. The weight is not affected by ingredients that foam or settle unevenly or by changes in density or the shape of the tank. Weight is weight, regardless of percent solids, bridging, rat-holing, or whether your ingredient is conductive or sound-absorbing. Because weighing is a noncontact method of measuring level, there is no chance of ...

Assessing causation of the extirpation of stream macroinvertebrates by a mixture of ions
Increased ionic concentrations are associated with the impairment of benthic invertebrate assemblages. However, the causal nature of that relationship must be demonstrated so that it can be used to derive a benchmark for conductivity. The available evidence is organized in terms of six characteristics of causation: co‐occurrence, preceding causation, interaction, alteration, sufficiency, and ...
