Discover the Advantage BLH • Nobel Weighing Systems The KIS Double Cantilever Advantage Start with the best gages and the best gage configuration KIS Beam technology incorporates SR-4® foil strain gages connected as a full Wheatstone bridge that is temperature-compensated and calibrated to deliver accuracy and reliability. And because all KIS Beams are factory-calibrated, installation and setup are quick and easy with no need for on-site calibration (unless mechanical obstructions prevent a “freestanding” vessel). ●● Strain Gages Temperature Compensation Gage Millivolt Output Full temperature...

Discover the Advantage BLH • Nobel Weighing Systems … place the load right over the gages Force applied directly to the sleeve (cutaway) over the gage pocket area KIS Beam design adds a second or “Double” cantilever sleeve over the actual load beam. This locates the load force application point directly above the gages. Placing the Wheatstone bridge gage network beneath the applied load results in significant performance advantages: ●● Side load force sensitivity is virtually eliminated ●● Moment stresses upon the gages are “zero” ●● ●● ●● Bending stress at the mounting base is reduced by 50%...

Discover the Advantage BLH • Nobel Weighing Systems Moving Load Vibration from agitation Thermal expansion Twisting moment caused by agitator Orienting the load cells towards the center gives a self-locking design that counteracts movement. Standard tank weighing Force measurement in materials testing

Discover the Advantage BLH • Nobel Weighing Systems Cylindrical Design Provides Top Performance The second secret of superior KIS performance is the cylindrical design. KIS beams can be rotated within the module hardware to coincide with the exact direction of applied weight. Cylindrical, electro-polished stainless steel provides a nearly frictionless surface for the module yoke to slide on during periods of thermal expansion and contraction. Applied weight Uneven floor Rotate beam to coincide with applied weight Make it a Module Adding a stainless steel split clamping block and mounting yoke...

Applications BLH • Nobel Weighing Systems Vessel Passes Through Floor ●● ●● ●● ●● Orient all modules so that they face radially inward to restrain the vessel in the lateral direction. Bolt modules to a uniform surface. If located on structural “I” beams, all beams must be both parallel and level. If thermal insulation pads are not required, bolt the module yoke directly to the vessel gusset. If thermal insulation pads are required to reduce heat conduction, order optional adapter plates and thermal pads. Freestanding Upright Vessels ●● ●● ●● ●● ●● Orient all modules so that they face radially...
