HBM C16 modules make tank weighing easy
HBM's C16 weighing modules for gravimetric level measurement enable the mass of a tank's contents to be determined precisely, quickly and conveniently. The modules are suitable for many applications, including building material tanks or tanks for fluids or gases.
The weighing modules are maintenance-free and are available in two versions: electro-galvanised or stainless-steel. Both come with integrated stay rods to resist horizontal forces that typically occur as a result of wind forces. Anti-liftoff devices that can be easily installed by the user are also available if required.
At the heart of the module is a self-restoring C16 pendulum load cell that is offered in different versions. Typical options are:
- D1,C3 or C4 accuracy class per OIML
- ATEX95 zones 1 and 21, zones 2 and 22
- FM approval (explosion protection for USA)
- Overvoltage protection
- Digital output
The weighing modules are available with maximum capacities ranging from 20-200t. They can be integrated into tanks of up to about 1200t, depending on the design, and legal-for-trade applications are possible. An independent TÜV body has certified the permissible mechanical data per DIN 18800.
