When it comes to weighing and measuring weight, the load cell is one of the components that affect the performance of the scales. For this reason, understanding how they work and the instructions that must be followed in this case are inevitably vital.
In order to integrate the performance of load cells and increase their accuracy and reliability, some organizations have published a series of production instructions and how use them for evaluation of a load cell. These documents, such as manual 44 and OIML R76, have been able to clarify the quality and accuracy of load cells for manufacturing companies. But keep in mind that this does not mean that different types of load cells will perform the same if they meet the guidelines. The reason for this is the difference in the technical ability of the manufacturers and the technology used in the production of load cells.
Load cell performance guidelines in Handbook 44 and OIML R76 include accuracy tolerances or error thresholds, with the primary purpose of using these numbers for calibration. Note that the performance standards included in those requirements still reflect the capabilities of mechanical scales that are now largely obsolete. Mechanical scales have limited capabilities compared to modern load cell technologies. In other words, some load cells can perform significantly better than what is considered as the minimum in these standards. Therefore, newer systems will bring more benefits to buyers. The best way to find out about these things is to talk to the sales manufacturers.
These days, the performance and features of truck scales and even some light weighing scales (such as 1-to-5-ton scales) are usually associated with accuracy and reliability.
The Impact of Scale Accuracy on Business: A scale designed for high-precision weighing is meant to prevent product loss or profit due to weight errors in a business. In other words, you will not suffer big losses, and on the other hand, your profit will not be caused by the inaccuracy of the scale.
Reliability Impact on Business: A stable and resilient of load cell system means a more reliable scale with less breakdowns, lower repair costs and lower cost of ownership. In all these years, it has been tried to increase the electrical and mechanical reliability of the scale by improving the quality and reduce the maintenance costs of the scale for businesses.
In general, you should be careful that the standards consider the worst-case scenario as a default in order to ensure the performance of the scale. But the point is that now the whole weighing industry has grown qualitatively and the accuracy of scales has increased dramatically. The Pand Caspian team also provides you with all its products based on the high accuracy of the scale and the reliability of maintenance costs.
