Factors affecting the performance of tank scales

Factors affecting the performance of tank scales

1. Wind Impact:

Wind has a significant impact on slender containers.

The downward pressure, upward force, and shear force generated by wind can cause the container to overturn.

Choosing a sensor with a larger capacity can withstand the influence of wind.

The additional mechanical limit device can serve to secure the container.

Windshields can reduce the impact of wind.

2. Impact force impact:

Objects falling from high places can generate strong impact forces, leading to sensor damage or container overturning.

Choosing a sensor with a larger capacity can prevent damage to the sensor due to impact.

Adding buffer blocks or isolation pads inside the capacity can reduce the impact of impact force.3. Vibration:

Container vibration can generate electronic noise that makes the output signal of the sensor unstable or inaccurate.

External vibrations are usually caused by the surrounding environment and transmitted to the container.

Isolating the foundation of the container from the environment that causes vibration can eliminate the vibration of the container.

Internal vibration is usually caused by mixing materials.

Installing an isolation pad between the sensor and the foundation can reduce the impact of vibration.

The built-in filtering function of MTCN's weighing instrument can eliminate electronic noise caused by vibration.
　
4. Temperature impact:

The change in temperature will cause the container to contract or expand, which will generate lateral force applied to the sensor and affect the accuracy of weighing.

If the temperature exceeds the range of use of the sensor, it will damage the strain gauge of the sensor.

Adding insulation and insulation materials between sensors and containers can eliminate the effects of temperature changes.

5. Effects of moisture, corrosive substances, or debris:

Moisture or corrosive substances can damage the sensor and shorten its lifespan.

Cables and junction boxes should also have moisture-proof protection measures.

The presence of dust or debris on sensors and containers can cause zero return errors and affect weighing accuracy.

The stainless steel weighing module using MTCN can resist the erosion of moisture or corrosive substances.

Sensors and containers should be cleaned regularly.
