Industrial Platform Scales: Mechanical vs. Digital

By Administrator

Platform scales are probably the most common measurement devices found throughout the industry. Every company that ships parts and materials will use a scale so that they can determine the weight of the package, and therefore the cost of transportation. Goods that are received by the company may be weighed on the scale to confirm … Continued

Intrinsically Safe Load Cells

By Arnold Gordon

Industrial environments come in every imaginable configuration. All of them must be kept safe from fire and explosion, but most do not need any special steps taken to achieve this goal. But others, by the nature of what they manufacture and how they do so, have special regulations to keep them safe. Dangerous situations can … Continued

Modbus Scales and Industrial Weighing Systems

By Arnold Gordon

Scales are designed to accept weight on the platform, and accurately provide a digital representation of that weight. In the most basic format, this weight will simply be shown on the readout display of the indicator. Often, though, the weight measurement is sent to another instrument or computer system for process control and system integration. … Continued

Cylinder Scales Measure Liquid Levels in Cylinders

By Arnold Gordon

Liquid gases are used across a broad range of industries. Liquid nitrogen is used in cryogenics. Argon is used in welding. The semiconductor industry uses many different liquid gases in the production of silicon wafers. These include silicon tetrafluoride, silicon tetrachloride, silane, disilane, and dichlorosilane, to name just a few. Weighing Liquified Gases In Cylinder … Continued

What Is Intrinsic Safety?

By Arnold Gordon

Manufacturing facilities come in different sizes with different equipment and wiring. They use different processes and different materials to manufacture various end products. With hazardous environments, you need to factor in intrinsic safety. Most manufacturing work environments are quite benign. The materials being used are not hazardous, or poisonous, or caustic or corrosive. They are … Continued
