Load cell assembly for silo, tank and vessel weighing
The VC3500 family of load cells are available in capacities ranging from
2,000kg to 200,000kg. They are especially suitable for high capacity vessel
weighing and feature a combined error specification of < +/- 0.05%.
The critical sensor element of the VC3500 unit is a fully welded double ended
shear beam, manufactured from high tensile 17-4 PH released stainless steel,
heat treated to give a high ultimate tensile strength.
This treatment provides an extremely stable platform for the strain gauges.
In common with all Thames Side Sensors load cells, the strain gauged element
is temperature compensated to ensure accuracy throughout a wide temperature range.
Stainless steel diaphragms are TIG welded in position to provide total
environmental sealing. This method of construction allows Thames Side Sensors
to offer a five year warranty on the complete unit.

Resistant to off-axial loading
Fully welded construction IP 68 stainless steel load sensor
Allows vessel expansion/contraction
Optional stainless steel loading assembly integral lift off prevention
