VC3500 Series: Double Shear Beam Load Cells
Vessel weighing problems solved simply and cost effectively. The VC3500 double shear beam load cell is designed particularly for large silos and tanks and it incorporates a high resistance to lift-off.The VC3500 load cell is also available with optional ATEX or IECEx certification and can be supplied as a special version with high temperature capability (for operation up to 150°C continuously).

Options
The VC3500 family of load cells is available in capacities from 2.000 kg to 200.000 kg. They are especially suitable for high capacity vessel weighing and feature a combined error specification of < ± 0.03%.
The critical sensor element is a fully welded double ended shear beam, manufactured from high tensile 17-4 PH stainless steel that is heat treated to give a high ultimate tensile strength. This heat treatment provides an extremely stable platform for the strain gauges, resulting in excellent accuracy and repeatability. In common with all Thames Side load cells, the strain gauged element is temperature compensated to ensure accuracy is maintained over a wide temperature range.
Stainless steel diaphragms are welded in position to provide total environmental sealing.
Due to the unique design of the VC3500, transverse and non-axial misalignment errors are minimised.
