We chose Applied Measurements’ DBBSM s-beam load cells as the pigment is £1000 per tonne so has to be extremely accurate” says Paul Akers, Works Manager at PD Edenhall Ltd. One of the largest independent concrete facing brick manufacturer in the UK, needed a way to accurately monitor the amount of pigment being dispensed into the weigh hopper throughout the manufacture of concrete facing bricks. The pigment amount needs to be precise as inaccurate amounts of pigment can lead to incorrect colour blends leading to a loss in sales and profit. Read how our accurate DBBSM s-beam load cells and intuitive4-L digital indicators were used in this construction industry application.

Submersible Load Cells Lower the Cost of Large Tidal Turbine Designs
This case study aims to significantly reduce the cost of large scale tidal turbine designs using our submersible load cells. The tidal turbine test rig was placed in a state-of-the-art test tank, where the team were able to increasing the size, flow rate and turbulence levels within the tank. Lowering the cost of rotor blade manufacture would make this renewable energy more economical to use and widely accessible, benefiting not only the UK renewable tidal energy markets but developing tidal energy countries too. Our submersible load cells measured both the torque and the thrust of the underwater tidal turbine design.
Permanently Submersible Load Cell Promises Accuracy Underwater
The new DBBSUB s-beam permanently submersible load cell is guaranteed to measure tension and compression in continuous submersion in potable water to depths of up to 10 metres / 1 bar. It has a glass-to-metal seal construction providing a complete hermetic sealing guaranteeing its safe performance in highly aggressive environments, whilst still maintaining its high ±0.02 % accuracy.
Applied Measurements Treatment Centre Open For Patients
We will accept any stain gauge based transducer for repair, whether it was supplied by us originally or another manufacturer (no questions asked!).
Creating 1000 Times More Power with Submersible Load Measuring Pins
The measuring device needed to withstand permanent underwater submersion. “Our load measuring pin’s stainless steel construction and ability to be customised to IP68 submersion rating made this the ideal choice for use in Deep Green’s control system”, explains Ollie Morcom, Applied Measurements’ Sales Director.
Complete Tensile Monitoring System Delivered in Under 1 Week
With huge capacities of up to 30,000kg and an accuracy of <±0.03% of the rated capacity, the highly accurate DBBSM S-beam load cell really is the knight in stainless steel armour. Not only can it efficiently handle the larger loads in the guys, it can also be supplied in less than 1 week! Its tough construction makes it ideal to use in the harsh outdoor conditions on the guy cables.
How to Improve Aerodynamics with our Single Point Load Cells and Digital Indicators
The Scale Wind Tunnel uses two single point load cells and Intuitive2-L digital indicators enabling students to test the aerodynamics of scale models. Read how they did it.
Why it is Vital to Re-Calibrate Your Gate Impact Force Tester
A poorly maintained power gate can lead to serious accidents due to inadequate installation and care. Can you afford not to get your gate impact force tester re-calibrated?
