The existing thin wall stainless steel tank required a support structure to be fitted underneath the tank to provide a sturdy fixing point for the load cells. The pump used for filling and emptying the liquids was also fitted to the support structure to ensure the accuracy of the tank scales wasn’t compromised by the pump operation.
The tank scales are mounted on 4 x Flintec RC3 industrial load cells fitted with restraining mechanisms to prevent any excessive tank movements due to external forces like wind, bumping by fork lift, etc. An Accuweigh X320 hazardous area indicator rated to IP69K was fitted due to the external mounting position of the tank scales.
