Value Line Weigh Modules
Value Line weigh modules are designed for general purpose applications such as OEM
machinery, conveyors, and tanks and hoppers with very flexible inlets/outlets. Typically,
the only force that needs to be considered is the weight of the tank and its contents (the
vertical force pressing down on the top plate of the weigh module). Each weigh module
has three basic components, which are shown in Figure 10-1.

Base Plate: This bottom plate is bolted or welded to the floor, foundation, or other
support structure to hold the weigh module in place.
Load Cell: This transducer uses a strain gauge to convert the mechanical force exerted
by the weight of a tank into an electric signal that provides a weight reading on an
indicator. The cantilever-beam load cell is bolted to the weigh module’s base plate.
