Piezoresistive Force Transmitter
Series FA-23
2…15 kN
A double sealing system with piezoresistive pressure measurement cell enables a simple, exact
force measurement cell to be realized. The pressure measurement cell used may be calibrated
directly in force, taking into consideration the diameter of the piston which transfers the force via a
high-viscosity fluid to the pressure measurement cell.
The force transmitters are employed at locations where a force cannot be calculated directly from
the fluid pressure and area (e.g. if additionally the tank filling is under pressure).
One of many applications is e.g. the determination of the amount contained in a tank. The accuracy
of Series FA-23 is typically 15 litres with a 1500 litres tank.
Digital Indicators
For digital display of the force in Newton (N), the mass in kilogram (kg) or the weight in kilo
pond (kp), any display device may be connected.
KELLER has expanded its manometer range by the LEO 4, to which several force measurement
cells may be connected and which displays the sum of the forces or weights. The force values are
preferably read out via the digital interface.
For taring a tank, the weight may be read out from each individual force measurement cell. If the
volume of the tank is known, calibration of the tank content display can also be done on the spot by
setting the two points “tank empty” and “tank full” via the entry keys before and after filling.
