A device for detecting the strain that a certain force produces on a body. The gauge consists of one or more fine wires cemented to the surface under test. As the surface becomes strained, the wires s [..]

The resistance of the load cell circuit measured at specific adjacent bridge terminals at standard temperature with no load applied and with the excitation and output terminals open-circuited.

The resistance of the load cell circuit measured at the excitation terminals at standard temperature with no load applied and with the output (signal) terminals open-circuited.

The resistance of the load cell circuit measured at the output signal terminals at standard temperature with no load applied and with the excitation terminals open-circuited.

A circuit or register device in a computer that receives, totals and stores numbers.

Precision in the measurement of quantities and in the statement of physical characteristics. Accuracy is expressed in terms of error as a percentage of the specified value (e.g., 10 volts ± 1%), as a [..]

Conversion of continuously varying (analog) voltage levels to discrete binary-numbered (digital) values (e.g., a load cell output can be fed through an A/D convertor to produce a continuous stream of [..]

The minimum temperature required for a substance to initiate or cause self-sustained combustion independently of the heating or heated equipment. Also referred to as ignition temperature.

The conditions (humidity, pressure, temperature, etc.) of the medium surrounding the load cell.

Unit of electrical current intensity. One ampere of current is 6.24 x 1018 electrons passing a point in one second; often shortened to amp.
