There has been a need for autonomously operating measuring systems for quite some time, but until now they have only been implemented using locally read-out data loggers. However, this meant that the data that was acquired was never up to date, and merely provided a historical picture.The measuring devices did not have a continuous function monitoring facility.

Even in this digital world of ours, most primary measurements in process plants are still analogue by nature – they only become digital down-line. Temperature starts out as voltage derived from joining two dissimilar metals together or from a charge in resistance from metals like platinum, nickel or semiconductors or measuring infrared radiation. Pressure, flow and force are measured by physical deformation with strain gauges (i.e. Wheatstone bridges or piezo-electric effects). There are myriad ways in which Level can be measured and most start with an analogue measurement. It’s for this reason then, that in plant maintenance, commissioning and instrumentation workshops, process calibrators remain indispensable.

Load cells aren’t all alike, and taking a hard look at the differences can put users closer to total control. All weight–measurement functions start with a load cell, so it makes sense that a little difference there can have a large effect.
