The industries we serve
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
ISO 376 Class 00 is specified from 10% to 100% of nominal force. It is a classification, not a zero-percent error claim.
C15 is intended for compression. The manufacturer identifies U15 for tensile and compressive reference measurements.
No. Output above 4 mV/V is specified from 25 kN, and rated-output adjustment is available as an option.
Yes. Measurement-chain calibration is available on request, rather than only calibrating the transducer separately.
The manufacturer specifies IP67 and a hermetically welded construction for C15.
