DESCRIPTION

nnnn

The BOSS series of Bolt-On Strain Sensors designed to be attached directly to steel structures, are capable

nnnn

of detecting tensile, compressive and bending stresses and converting them to a useable electrical signal.

nnnn

Utilising the latest strain gauge technology, each sensor is manufactured from specifically selected high grade

nnnn

alloy steel with thermal coefficients of expansion matched to structural steel. Each unit is temperature cycled

nnnn

to ensure that the effects of temperature variation are minimised. To ensure complete protection from all but

nnnn

the harshest of environments each sensor is fully encapsulated with a high strength waterproof compound.

nnnn

Typical weighing applications include silo, hoppers, storage vessels, bins and tanks and overload protection

nnnn

systems on cranes, winches, lifts and presses.

nnnn

For installation, each unit is supplied with a template to which the two mounting blocks are attached using

nnnn

high tensile cap head bolts. The mounting blocks are welded in position using the template which is then

nnnn

removed and the Bolt-On sensor attached in its place.
