Steelyard weighing device from the late nineteenth century. Minnesota Historical Society collections. Roman steelyard from Pompeii. The steelyard comprises a balance beam which is suspended from a lever/pivot or fulcrum which is very close to one end of the beam. The two parts of the beam which flank the pivot are the arms.
Ship load; Slug; Talent – a unit of mass in the tens of kg; Tank; Tod; Truss – a unit of mass used to describe tight bundle of hay or straw. It would usually be cuboid, for storage or shipping, and would either be harvested into such bundles or cut from a large rick. Whey – a unit of mass used for butter and cheese; Zentner; Zolotnik
KTechLab is an IDE for electronic and PIC microcontroller circuit design and simulation; it is a circuit designer with auto-routing and a simulator of common electronic components and logic elements.
Changes in weighing machine technology after World War II led to the closure of the foundry, the introduction of load cells and electronic weighing with the simultaneous gradual disappearance of purely mechanical devices. After almost a century of national and international expansion the company was taken over by GEC in 1979. Keith Hodgkinson ...
A weigh belt. This is typically mounted on a weight transducer which can typically be a strain-gauge load cell or a servo-balance (also known as a force-balance), or sometimes known as a split-beam. Some older machines may pause the weigh bed belt before taking the weight measurement. This may limit line speed and throughput.
This is achieved by maintaining a constant load on the balance beam and thus the fulcrum, by subtracting mass on the same side of the beam as which the sample is added. [ citation needed ] Electronic analytical scales measure the force needed to counter the mass being measured rather than using actual masses.
Flow measurement devices (liquids) Graduated cylinder (liquids) Measuring cup (grained solids, liquids) Overflow trough (solids) Pipette (liquids) If the mass density of a solid is known, weighing allows to calculate the volume. For the ranges of volume-values see: Orders of magnitude (volume)
NTEP serves as a means of assurance that a device will be manufactured in accordance with United States standards for commercial weighing and measuring devices. These standards are adopted by the NCWM and published in Handbook 44: Specifications and Tolerances and Other Technical Requirements. NCWM utilizes special committees called National ...
