Application 125

Mass Flow Meter

Application Summary

Utilizing an adapter button, FUTEK's LSM Series Load Cell is proficient at measuring the mass flow of solid particles in any process line.

Products in Use

OEM Load Cell (LSM Series) paired with Instrumentation (IAA Series, IPM650, IHH500, and USB Solutions).

How it Works

FUTEK partners with several manufacturers of control devices to design and develop OEM load cells to constantly measure the flow of particles.
FUTEK's LSM Series are side mounting load cells proficient at both tension and compression measurements with built-in overload protection.
This application concept illustrates the LSM Load Cell attached to a counterbalance assembly, in which the force sensing point engages with the surface of the pan.
The measurement output can be taken to either an amplifier, a digital display, or streamed via USB technology.
Both the digital display or USB route allow operators the additional use of FUTEK's SENSIT™ Test and Measurement Software, in which they can live graph and data log results.
