Technical term for load cell（Part 1）

Technical term for load cell（Part 1）

①   Ambient Conditions 

Humidity, pressure, temperature, etc. of the medium surrounding the load cell.

②   Ambient Temperature

The temperature of the medium surrounding the load cell.

③   Angular Load Eccentric

A load applied eccentric with the primary axis at the point of application and at some angle with respect to the primary axis.

④   Angular Load Concentric

A load applied concentric with the Primary axis at the point of application and at some angle with respect to the Primary axis.

⑤   Axial Load

A load applied along or parallel to and concentric with the primary axis.

⑥   Calibration

The comparison of load cell outputs against standard test loads.

⑦   Calibration Curve

A record (graph) of the comparison of the load cell outputs against standard test loads.

⑧   Combined Error

(Non linearity and Hysteresis) The maximum deviation from the straight line drawn between original no--load and rated load outputs expressed as percentage of the ratedoutput and measured on both increasing and decreasing loads.

⑨   Compensation

The utilization of supplementary devices, materials, or process to minimize known sources of error.

⑩   Creep

The change in load cell output occurring with time while under load and with all environmental conditions and other variables remaining constant.
