Bolt-On Weighing Systems
 
Turn your existing Tank/Vessel/Structure into a scale. KM pioneered the popular bolt-on, strain gauge, sensor technology for continuous measuring of vessel weight. Bolt-on sensors measure the stress level changes in vessel supports caused by material movement and therefore are not fooled by side build-up, angles of repose or air pockets. Quickly and easily installed, this non-intrusive, cost-effective method is an excellent alternative to traditional level sensing.
 
 
 
 

A dual-axis strain gauge sensor that is bolted
to the vessel's support structure, measuring changes in stress in the vessel support member. The second axis compensates for temperature variations, providing a cost effective, industrial strength weighing system. There is no need to empty the vessel or take it out of production to install or service.
