1. Introduction
The RLBTM Series Weigh Modules are designed to accommodate normal vessel
expansion in all directions while still exercising self-checking capabilities. The
RLBTM module is a single-ended load cell design which incorporates a ball and cup
for center pivoting and isolating the load cell from unwanted extraneous forces.
The module is available in plated steel (250 to 5000 lb SE) and stainless steel (1000
lb to 4000 lb).
The installation should be planned by a qualified structural
Caution
engineer. Each installation is unique, and this booklet is meant
to serve only as an overview for installation of the RLBTM
Series Weigh Modules.
