Stainless-steel pressure sensors have wide ranges
Devices measure liquid and gas pressures in a wide variety of applications, ranging from hydraulics and pneumatics to barometers and data loggers.
The load cell is available in ten different ranges from 0-1 up to 0- 500 tonne and offers excellent performance with a repeatability of better than 0.05% of rated output.
Designed for use with standard lifting shackles, the units are sealed to IP66, allowing them to withstand harsh outside environments.
The portable instrument receives the load cell signal and displays the reading on the 8 character -14 segment LCD display over the range -4999 to +65000 .Features include a 'hold' control for display storage and a 'tare' control for automatic zeroing of the load signal.
It operates on a 9V PP3 supply and the auto power down conserves battery life.
