A weighbridge operates using a system of load cells and a weighing indicator. Here's a simplified breakdown of the process:
- Load Cell Placement: Load cells, which are highly sensitive transducers, are strategically placed beneath the weighing platform.
- Weight Distribution:When a vehicle drives onto the weighbridge, its weight is distributed across these load cells.
- Signal Generation: The load cells convert the weight into electrical signals, proportional to the force applied.
- Signal Transmission: These electrical signals are transmitted to a weighing indicator.
- Weight Calculation and Display:The weighing indicator processes the signals and calculates the total weight of the vehicle. This weight is then displayed on a digital display.
Weighing a car may seem like an unusual task, but a weighbridge makes it easy. Knowing the work process of weighbridges and even more details about them can make the entire weighing process easier and more reliable.
