Device and method for monitoring the amount of material applied to a surface

摘要

The present invention is a device and method for monitoring the amount of paint or beads being applied by a paint truck to a road or other surface. Paint and/or bead storage tanks are mounted on weigh bars. By taking periodic measurements of the weight of the storage tanks and by correlating that data with the distance of the road or other surface painted, an operator is able to ensure that the amount of paint and/or beads being applied is within a desired specification.
