Factors that affect the weighing scale Accuracy
Accuracy is the most important factor in current engineering technology. When it comes to the manufacturing process ensure our product will work properly. The quality of the product is one of the other factors we have to consider. Here in this blog, we can discuss the factors affecting weighing scale accuracy.
THE TOP 4 FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE WEIGHING SCALE ACCURACY ARE
- Load Cell Accuracy
- Environmental Factors
- Load Issues Factors
- Interference
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AFFECT WEIGHING SCALE ACCURACY
- Wind loading: Mostly the indoor scales are affected by the air movement created by air conditioners and air pipes
- Vibration: Vibrations also create issues from nearby equipment that cause misinterpretation of weight readings.
- Unclean scales: The weighing scale shows incorrect readings due to the scales are regularly not cleaning.
- The difference in Pressure: The pressure difference is shown according to the difference in pressure of the environment with the calibration environment
- Shock loading: Unloading heavy materials out suddenly on your weighing scales can put more power than the most extreme evaluated limit and harm the system or the load cells.
LOAD ISSUES FACTORS
- Another thing that causes incorrectness in the weighing system is the manner in which load is applied and upheld.
- Ensure the mounting hardware functioning properly.
- Loads that are not placed appropriately can cause load cells to decipher the power as weight and produce wrong readings.
- An inappropriately applied load, for example, a turning load, may bring about incorrect weight
INTERFERENCE
- Moisture: In the load cell the difference in the environment causes moisture will occur and enter the system. This will cause the clubbing of electrical input and output and results in inaccurate displaying of output
- Temperature: When the load cell is subject to temperature leads to some problems like when an increase in temperature is inversely proportional to wire resistance. This will result in a voltage drop and shows incorrect readings
- RFI and EMI: The source of these signals are lightning, portable static electricity, solenoids, etc. This noise will also lead to incorrect measurement readings in the system
- Picking quality components that particularly fit your application will go far toward guaranteeing that your framework gives the precision you need. In this blog, we have described the main five factors so you can prevent issues in your weighing scale accuracy
