Martin decker load cell sd series diaphragm E97-22 supply and repair of load cell
The Martin Decker SD Series load cells, including the diaphragm model E97-22, are part of the M/D Totco™ product line. These load cells are known for their high accuracy and reliability, designed to work with industry-standard deadline anchors using tension or compression hydraulic load cells
Calibrating a Martin Decker load cell involves several steps to ensure accurate and reliable measurements. Here’s a general guide to help you through the process:
Gather Necessary Tools and Equipment:
- Calibration weights or a force standard.
- A stable platform free from vibrations and air currents.
- Calibration software or a data acquisition system.
Set Up the Load Cell:
- Install the load cell in its working environment.
- Ensure all connections are secure and the load cell is properly mounted.
Apply Known Loads:
- Begin with the load cell at zero load and record the output signal.
- Apply a series of known weights across the load cell’s capacity range.
- Record the output signal for each weight.
Measure and Adjust the Output Signal:
- Compare the recorded output signals to the expected values.
- Adjust the load cell’s gain and offset parameters to match the known weights.
Verify the Calibration:
- Reapply the known weights and check if the output signals are accurate.
- Make any necessary adjustments to ensure precision.
Document the Calibration:
- Keep a record of the calibration process, including the weights used and the output signals.
