How Do Industrial Scales Work?


 
Science & Technology,Business,Education
Read on to discover the different ways that industrial scales can work. Industrial scales are capable of some truly impressive feats – but have you ever wondered how they work exactly? Read on to find out…

Platform Scales In this type of industrial scale, the usual box into which the item being weighed is usually placed is instead replaced with an open platform, meaning that objects can be weighed accurately irrespective of size or shape, provided the platform is the proper size.

Bench Scales Bench scales are similar in principle to platform scales, except that they work on a smaller scale and can be placed on top of a work surface such as a table or workstation.

Cylinder Scales These come in a variety of sizes, and are generally used to measure liquid tanks and gas cylinders. Again, these work much like a platform scale, except that they often sit closer to the ground to eliminate any potential difficulties with loading and unloading the cylinders.

Drum Scales Yet another set of industrial scales that function similarly to a platform scale. These scales use load cells into which you place the items that need weighing. This can mean that the scales take up more space than they otherwise would.

Spring Scales These industrial scales consist of a scale that is hung beneath a suspended hook; the weight is ascertained by the amount the spring in between the two parts stretches. You have probably seen this type of scale before at the grocery when weighing fruit and vegetables.

Crane Scales These scales work using exactly the same principles as the spring scale above, but for much larger weights. As the crane is so high in the air, the reading is not displayed on the scale itself but is usually flashed up on a digital display nearby, or sent electronically to a separate location entirely.

Livestock Scales These industrial scales are used to weigh livestock such as cattle, sheep and pigs, and can often accommodate large groups of animals. These usually resember large scale versions of the platform scale detailed above, but are specially adapted to be suitable and non-stressful for the animals being weighed; for example, they usually lie flatter on the ground so that the creatures do not have to jump up into them. Whatever your business and whichever industry you belong to, there is sure to be a set of industrial scales that suit your requirements.

Discover how this weighing equipment can enhance your business.
