Depending on the accuracy required, load cells are installed under the legs of a multi-legged vessel (e.g., 3, 4 or more legs). As an example, on a 4-legged silo, vessel or tank a single loadcell could be installed under 1 leg (lowest accuracy system), or 2 loadcells could be installed under 2 legs (higher accuracy). The more loadcells that are installed, the higher the accuracy. This application works better with materials that are self-leveling because the center of gravity does not move between the legs.

Hardy has multiple products that can be installed to manage this application:
