Strain Gauge Based Submersible Triaxial Load Cell
- Fully submersible to an external pressure of up to 70bar
- Pressure Compensated Design
- Robust Construction
- Simple Installation
- High Performance
- High Side load Tolerance
This series of submersible triaxial load cells has been designed for measuring compressive loads from 1kN to 50kN. The products can be fitted into new or existing triaxial cells with a diameter up to100mm.
The design features an internal pressure compensation system that eliminates zero offset changes when the load cell is subjected to external pressure changes. Being insensitive to cell confining pressure, the load cell can be used inside the triaxial cell.
As the load is measured within the cell it eliminates the effects of piston friction.
The use of specially selected heat treated stainless steel and precision strain gauges ensure optimum performance and excellent long term stability.
