Load Cell for Bridge and Dam Structure - Compression Load Cell ( Model - CMP, CMS )
Load Cell for Bridge and Dam Structure: When a bridge is constructed and transported to its destination, it must be lifted and carefully placed in its ultimate location. During their service life, they might also need to be lifted for structural repairs or bearing replacement. This calls for the employment of cranes or jacking devices, both of which can increase efficiency and safety by utilizing a load monitoring system. Bridge safety monitoring is essential because a bridge failure can result in serious material damage and loss of life. Thus, a bridge health monitoring system is essential and necessitates careful planning for sensor networking and extensive instrumentation. Numerous elements, such as hydrological, geotechnical, structural, and environmental impacts, can affect dams. Careful monitoring with a variety of geotechnical and structural instrumentation is necessary to ensure their safety and operating effectiveness.
CMP Model Bridge And Dam Structure Load Cell
High nickel alloy steel is used to construct the monolithic compression load cell model CMP. Because of its distinctive construction, the loadcell’s design makes it appropriate for robust applications and permits angular loading without compromising accuracy. The load cell is IP68 standard sealed. The ideal radius of the loadcell and the special mounting cups make this rocker assembly load cell easier to install and yield accurate readings.
CMS Model Bridge And Dam Structure Load Cell
The load cells of the CM series are strain gauge transducers that are used to measure loads with great accuracy in compression for both static and dynamic applications. Because they are machined from a single block of metal, there are no welds in the case, mountings, or primary sensing element, which allows for reduced dimensions and a higher level of protection. The point of measurement’s eight strain gauge arrangement minimizes mistakes brought on by erroneous load applications. Applications for load cells connected in parallel include big weighing platforms, hoppers, and silos. The petrochemical and chemical industries can use the stainless steel construction in harsh settings.
Advantages Of Bridge And Dam Structure Load Cell
Load cells are advantageous for numerous industrial verticals due to their durable and strong design, which provides stability over an extended period of time. Let’s examine a few advantages of various load cell kinds.
- Because load cells don’t hold fluids, they reduce the possibility of procedure contamination in the event of a diaphragm stoppage.
- Industries utilize strain gauge load cells extensively because they are less expensive and offer good precision.
- Compression load cells are used in a variety of force-detecting devices used in aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications to measure forces delivered from all directions.
- The sturdy force gauge is still used to measure forces and weights in the rolling mill, truck weighing module, industrial scale, bolt strength measurement equipment, and incredibly huge platform scale.
- Because column type load cells can function in challenging environments, they are also advantageous for use in truck scale, rail weighbridge, hopper weighing, and weighing scale applications.
