Definition

The term CANISTER in the context of test and measurement is normally taken to mean a LOAD CELL of the column type, surrounded by a metal casing thereby resembling a canister.

Application

Canister load cells are typically used in high capacity applications such as weighbridges (truck scales) and industrial process plants (steel works, mining, quarrying).

 

This is because the canister housing provides significant strength and ruggedness to the load cell, but it also tends to interfere with the accuracy at low capacities.

 

The output of such load cells is usually in the region of 2 mV/V at full load, which makes them suitable for use with any of Mantracourt's strain gauge amplifiers, digitisers and controllers.
