Tension Weigh Modules
Tension weigh modules are used for tanks or hoppers that must be suspended from a
building’s superstructure or upper floor.
A typical tension weigh module is shown in Figure 1-2. It uses an S-shaped load cell
that is threaded on both ends. Each threaded end of the load cell accepts a spherical
rod-end bearing and clevis arrangement that connects to existing threaded vessel
support rods.
