  • Flow line weighing device
    Patent number: 5065632
    Abstract: A flow line weighing device for weighing material flowing over a plate. The plate has one or more force transducers mounted on the plate so that the plate is directly and solely supported by the transducer or transducers. The output signal, or additive signal, of the transducer or transducers, respectively, is processed to give a readout which is independent of the area of the plate. Thus a direct reading is obtained without the requirement of the mechanical transmission of a force to the sensing units.
