Mechanical Load Cell

The Mechanical Load Cell is used to calibrate loads on the following Simpson sand testing equipment: the Electronic Universal Sand Strength Machine, Model No. 42104, the Digital Pneumatic Sand Squeezer, Model No. 42160 and the High Temperature Compression Tester, Model No. 42115.

The gauge is calibrated using NIST certified dead weights at three positions. Each mechanical load cell is supplied with certification documentation. Using this mechanical load cell, the Electronic Universal Sand Strength Machine, Model No. 42104, can be calibrated in minutes. The incorporation of digital calibration allows the operator to make all necessary corrections via the keyboard without disassembling the strength machine.

The Mechanical Load Cell is supplied with the required fixtures for proper mounting on the Electronic Universal Sand Strength Machine, Model No. 42104. Please note that additional fixtures, Part No. 0017-721, are required for mounting the Mechanical Load Cell when used to calibrate the Digital Pneumatic Sand Squeezer, Model No. 42160. The High Temperature Compression Tester, Model No. 42115 also requires additional fixtures for alignment of the Mechanical Load Cell.
