The T20 is a low cost, reliable, simple solution for silo, tank, hopper and vessel weighing, especially when point-to-point level measurement by weight (gravimetric level measurement) is the main requirement.  It was designed for operation at extremes of temperature, with an operating range from -50 °C to +70 °C.

It combines a fully welded and hermetically sealed stainless steel compression disc load cell, protected to IP68 and IP69K, with a mounting accessory available in zinc plated steel or stainless steel. This is an ideal combination for applications in harsh environments that require regular wash-down cleaning.

The LA20 mounting accessory is extremely compact, with integral jacking to allow for fast, simple load cell installation and removal, as well as lift-off prevention and tolerance of angular misalignment.  The underside of the top plate incorporates a hardened steel disc that provides for optimum load introduction.

As an option, ATEX approval is available for use in hazardous areas where an explosion risk exists.  For gas zones 20, 21 and 22 the ATEX certification does not require the use of safety barriers.

Load cells can be fitted under all legs of the silo, vessel or hopper, but where cost is critical then dummy/false load cells (or pivot joints) can be fitted underneath one or more of the legs.

This is a cost-effective solution, designed with the needs of silo/tank manufacturers and weighing system integrators in mind.
