The BOSS series of bolt-on strain sensors from Applied Measurements provide a very cost effective solution for many high capacity weighing requirements such as on large tanks and silos, as well as finding application in overload protection systems on cranes, winches, lifts and presses. The sensors are designed to be attached directly to steel structures and are capable of detecting tensile, compressive and bending stresses. Utilizing the latest strain gauge technology, each sensor is manufactured from specifically selected high grade alloy steel with thermal coefficients of expansion matched to structural steel. Unlike some competitive units each sensor is temperature cycled and compensated to minimize the effects of temperature variation. For installation, each unit is supplied with a template to which the […]

Custom Load Pins Designed To Suit Your Needs
The DBEP series load pins are available in a standard range of capacities and sizes to show the overall scope of this product. As the majority of applications require specific dimensions we can quickly and easily design and manufacture custom load pins to meet individual needs. This can be achieved without the normal high cost and long delivery associated with custom load pin manufacture. Options for our custom load pin designs include; load ratings from 0-500kg up to 0-1500 tonnes, sealed to IP68 or subsea, built in amplifiers (analogue or digital), bi-directional operation, dual strain gauge bridges, X-Y force measurement, temperature ranges from –20ºC to +70ºC, while Stainless Steel construction is standard. Our custom load pins can be supplied as […]
New Compact Load Cell Measures up to 300 tonnes in Tension or Compression
Even though the new DBCL compact load cell from Applied Measurements is a small design, it has the capability of measuring up to 300 tonnes in tension and compression. Its design with either male or female threads at each end of the body make the DBCL compact load cell ideal for measuring tension in ranges from 0-1 to 0-300 tons. For higher capacity requirements we can produce larger custom models rated to 1500 tonnes and beyond. The compact load cell design will suit many applications including offshore, construction, building and testing fields. The DBCL has a robust stainless steel construction with O-ring sealing to IP67 for use in harsh environments, together with a fully submersible IP68 version available for use […]
Low Range Differential Pressure Transmitters Measure Down to 25 Pascals
Applied Measurements have launched their PR Series of differential pressure transmitters, specifically designed for the measurement of differential pressure at very low ranges down to 25 pascals (0.25mbar) covered by the PR3202 model, and operation at high static pressures up to 300 bar on the PR3200 model. All three models cover a wide range of applications and come fully temperature compensated ensuring high levels of stability. All of the PR series differential pressure transmitter models have a standard 2 wire, 4-20mA output and are robustly built to withstand the arduous conditions of process and industrial environments. The PR3202 low range differential pressure transmitter covers ultra low measurements from 0-25 pascals up to 0-1000 mbar (0-100kPa) and is housed in an […]
Compact Under-Hook/Lifting Gear Telemetry Load Cell & Display
The latest weighing system from Applied Measurements Ltd is one of the first of its kind to use a telemetry link between the load cell and the portable digital display instrument, thus eliminating the problems associated with a long interconnecting cable. Specifically designed for the measurement of cable tension and under hook crane and lifting gear weighing, the complete ET Telemetry Lift Link system consists of a robust telemetry load cell with an internal data transmitter with a range of 200 metres, together with a portable handheld receiver instrument, displaying the weight digitally. The ET telemetry load cell is available in ten different ranges from 0-1 to 0-500 tonnes and offers excellent performance with a repeatability of <0.05% of rated […]
Robust 5:1 Turndown Level Transmitter Measures Up To 100m Depth
Applied Measurements’ P9911 series submersible depth sensor is available in ranges from 0-2 to 0-100 metres water gauge and provides an industry standard 4-20mA output. The all stainless steel sensor offers great flexibility, with its two piece body design providing ease of access to the zero and span potentiometers and 5 to 1 turn down switches, allowing full field adjustability. The two halves of the unit are bolted together using six Allen screws and sealed by means of an ‘O’ ring. This, together with an IP68 sealed polythene cable outlet, completes the high integrity waterproof assembly which maintains full sealing to a depth of 100 metres. Both the sensor and electronics are protected against the effects of lightning strikes offering […]
TR200 Portable Battery-Powered Strain Gauge Digital Indicator Launched
Applied Measurements are introducing their model TR200 portable battery powered strain gauge digital indicator. This compact instrument is designed to read outputs from load cells, pressure transducers and most other strain gauge sensors with a full bridge configuration and output sensitivity between 0.75mV/V and 7.5mV/V. Bridge resistances as low as 85 ohms are compatible with the TR200. This versatile instrument which is sealed to IP65, making it ideally suited to a wide range of applications in the automotive, process control, water, aerospace and marine offshore industries where short term measurements are required. The TR200 is particularly suited to on board vehicle datalogging. All adjustments are entered via the sealed key pad to enable the user to set zero, scaling, decimal […]
