Industrial Scales Terms
– The part of the scale that operates the measuring cell and circuits
in an electronic system.
– The mechanism in a
scale used to determine the weight of an object.
– The counting, weighing
and preparation of industrial components.
– The method
of weighing an object on metal plates by determining the amount of force
applied to the plates.
– The process of
testing a scale to ensure accurate weight readings.
– The amount
of error between what an object’s weight on a scale appears to be
and what the true mass of the object is.
– A device that
monitors the weight of objects, as in a production line.
– Expresses the weight
of an object in various formats, including dial, analog, digital and balance
beam form.
– The change in a load
cell’s output.
– The process
of weighing an object many times, but getting a different reading for
it each time.
– A tool that uses
the signal from a junction box to display the weight of an object in a
readable format.
– A term for the
number displayed that will vary randomly and sporadically rather than
progressively.
– A tool that uses
the electronic signal from a load cell to determine the weight of an object.
–
Semi-conductors that provide the display on digital scales and produce
light through their reaction to electrical current. When electrical current
is supplied in a particular manner, the diodes illuminate in numerical
shapes.
–
The display provided on digital scales. LCDs block light through the reaction
of liquid crystals to electric current; thus, the area in which the light
is blocked is darkened, and when electrical current is strategically applied,
the darkened areas form numbers, which represent the weight reading.
– The applied weight of
an object to a load cell.
– A mechanism that
reflects the weight of an object in the form of an electronic signal (http://www.load-cells.org).
– The use of
load cells to measure an object.
– A transducer used
in determining the weight of an object.
– The part of the scale that actually senses
the weight and converts in into an electrical signal.
– The electronic signal
produced when weight is applied to a load cell.
– The use
of sensors to determine the weight of an object.
– A structure on which
the weight of a heavy object is distributed in order to achieve an accurate
weight reading of the object.
– A mechanism that rotates
an object.
– The ability
of a scale to produce the same reading for an object weighed multiple
times.
– The smallest amount
of weight that a scale can detect.
– Holes into which
a scale is anchored.
– The change in a structure’s
size after weight is applied to the structure.
– A tool used to
measure the change in size of a structure after weight has been applied
to the structure.

– A tool that converts energy into a different form.
– A machine that
consists of metal plates implanted into the ground. Weighbridges are used
to measure the weight of heavy objects, such as vehicles.
– The use of
sensors to determine a vehicle’s weight, while the vehicle is in
motion. As the vehicle moves over the scale, the sensors establish the
amount of force applied to each axle and calculate the total force applied.
– An instrument
that converts an item, such as a container, into a scale by measuring
the capacity of the container.
– The amount of gravity
exerted upon an object.
