In the selection process of tank weighing systems, many users tend to focus solely on sensor accuracy ratings and price, overlooking the system's overall performance and on-site adaptability. This one-sided evaluation approach can lead to selection errors and even pose risks to future production.
In reality, an excellent weighing system requires comprehensive consideration of the following key factors:
Avoid relying solely on the nominal accuracy of sensors. Instead, base your requirements on actual process needs by defining absolute error tolerances.
For example:
"For a 5-ton filling process, the total system error must be controlled within ±500 grams."
"For each 1-ton filling, the error must not exceed 0.1% of the filled weight."
Additionally, agree on post-installation on-site acceptance criteria and periodic calibration plans.
Mechanical Structure Impact: Installation method (leg-supported/top-mounted), flexible piping design, mixer vibrations, etc.
Environmental Interference: Wind load, vibration sources, temperature fluctuations, and other external factors affecting long-term stability.
Safety Redundancy Design: Protection capabilities for special scenarios like impact loads and overload conditions.
Key parameters include: repeatability, nonlinearity, creep, hysteresis, and temperature drift coefficient.
Select and compare critical indicators based on actual application scenarios (e.g., high-frequency dynamic weighing, corrosive environments).
During the requirement phase, provide complete operational details (e.g., installation diagrams, process flowcharts, environmental parameters) to enable systematic design by suppliers.
Prioritize suppliers with engineering experience, ensuring their solutions include value-added services such as mechanical simulation analysis, anti-interference design, and long-term maintenance support.
Only through systematic evaluation can a weighing system not only meet short-term accuracy requirements but also adapt to complex conditions, ensuring stable, reliable, and safe long-term operation.
