T34

COMPRESSION COLUMN LOAD CELL

FOR SILO WEIGHING
capacities 10t - 1000t

High capacity weighing problems solved simply and cost-effectively.

The high capacity model T34 family of column load cells are designed specifically for silo weighing applications.
T34s are made of Stainless Steel and are fully welded and hermetically sealed to IP68 and IP69K as standard. It
can therefore be used in the harshest industrial environments for tanks, vessel and Silo weighing applications.
Capacities range from 10t to 1000t.

These compression load cells are available with approval according to OIML R60 Class C4 (4000 divisions)
up 60t capacities. The T34s are calibrated in mV/V/Ω by output current matching, which minimises corner
correction time on multi-cell systems.

The Polyurethane cable provides excellent protection against chemicals, UV radiation, rodents and damage from
cuts/impacts. ATEX approval for all Gas and Dust zones is available as an option. While the ATEX certification
allows use in all zones, in dust zones 20, 21, 22 and gas zone 2 there is no need for safety barriers, which
results in a large cost saving.

For applications in aggressive environments where stress corrosion or acid attack could be a problem, the T34
can be supplied with an optional Parylene coating.

For high temperature applications, an optional version of the T34 is available for operation in environments up to
150°C (continuous temperature).

THE CONCEPT HIGH TEMPERATURE

The high capacity T34 family of load cells is available in The T34 range is available in an optional high temperature
capacities from 10t to 1000t. They are especially suitable for variant that utilises special load cell components and a PTFE
silo weighing and feature a combined error specification of ‘Teflon’ cable for operation in environments up to 150°C.
< ± 0.013 % up to 60t and < ± 0.05 % from 100t to 1000t.

The critical sensor element is a fully welded and hermetically

sealed column load cell, manufactured from high tensile
stainless steel which is heat treated. This provides an ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
extremely stable platform for the strain gauges, resulting
in excellent accuracy and repeatability. In common with A special Parylene coating can be specified, as an option, to
all Thames Side load cells, the strain gauged element is provide additional protection in extreme environments where
temperature compensated to ensure accuracy is maintained stress corrosion could occur – for example where chlorine or
through a wide temperature range. acids are present.

The stainless steel cover is TIG welded in position to provide

total environmental sealing. This method of construction,
together with the fitting of a high quality cable gland, allows
Thames Side to offer a 5 year warranty on the complete unit.

ATEX CERTIFICATION
The T34 range has a number of ATEX certification options; this allows for use in some ATEX zones without safety barriers and
results in significant cost savings for the customer.
